1. A bracket configured to hold a barrel of binoculars or monocular telescopes, said bracket comprising:
a partially cylinder-shaped receptacle comprising a partially cylinder-shaped wall having a partially cylinder-shaped wall diameter with an opening that extends laterally in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the partially cylinder-shaped wall between a first rim and a second rim of the partially cylinder-shaped wall, wherein the width of the opening is smaller than the partially cylinder-shaped wall diameter so that the barrel of binoculars inserted into and held in the bracket may not be pushed out in a direction extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis; wherein
the first rim of the cylinder wall comprises a stop collar configured to engage the barrel of the binoculars and extending in a radially inward direction so that an innermost diameter of the stop collar is smaller than the partially cylinder-shaped wall diameter; and
an aperture is formed between the first rim and the second rim that is configured to receive a protrusion formed on an outer side of the barrel to be held by swiveling the protrusion into the aperture for positively interlocking therewith.
