Abstract
A support for a camera automatic focusing system has two identical plates that form top and bottom covers of the support. The top plate has a plurality of spaced openings that are in alignment with identical spaced apart openings formed in said bottom plate. A pair of shafts are positioned to extend through a different pair of the aligned openings in the plates. A separate image transferring mirror and a focusing lever is mounted on each shaft between opposing flat surface portions of the cover plates. A separate washer is mounted about each of said shafts between a lower end of said mirror and its associated focusing lever. An image receiving module having a height greater than the combined height of the mirror and thickness of the washer allows each focusing lever to be moved freely for angular adjustment of the associated mirror. The module has aligned spaced apart bosses on its surfaces adjacent the cover plates. Additional pairs of aligned openings formed in the top and bottom cover plates are positioned in snug engagement with associated bosses on said module. A mechanical connection extends between said cover plates to retain said image receiving module and said mirrors in optical relationship.
