Temporary retaining structure for light projecting or receiving devices of AF apparatuses

摘要

In a camera provided with an instrument supporting frame, with which a light projecting device or a light receiving device of an automatic focusing apparatus are combined at a predetermined position, a retaining piece, which is capable of elastically pushing and holding the light projecting device or the light receiving device at the predetermined position, is formed through integral molding together with the instrument supporting frame. The device is held by the retaining piece at the predetermined position and is adhered in this state to the instrument supporting frame by use of an adhesive agent.
