Abstract
A sonic ranging and lens focusing module for cameras having a body casing to enclose functional components including a lens board to support an adjustable lens directed forwardly through an opening in the casing, which module provides structural support for all operative components for adjusting the camera lens focus in response to a ranging signal without interference with existing camera components. All mechanical components of the module are supported on an integral anchor plate formed preferably as a molding of synthetic resinous material and having mounting formations by which individual components may be snap fit into place. The anchor plate additionally is formed with forwardly and rearwardly projecting locating and latching formations by which the assembled module may be accurately and positively secured in front of the camera lens board in snap fit fashion.
