Abstract

A finger assembly includes a finger holder supported in depending position on a horizontal rail for adjustable positioning therealong. Flexible fingers received in associated slots in the holder extend downwardly and laterally outwardly from the holder and are clamped thereto by a retaining member, positioned below the holder, and a single clamping screw, extending upwardly through the retaining member and engaged with and secured to the holder. Different size retaining members may be used to vary the lateral pitch of the fingers. A single finger may be removed from the holder for repair or replacement by loosening the clamping screw which is accessible from the position below the holder.
