ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a guide assembly for disappearing fingers that is bolted to the auger tube by mounting bolts. The guide assembly is provided with an inwardly projecting sleeve that is provided with two swivel assemblies, one on either side of the sleeve. The sleeve permits the disappearing finger to be retracted into the auger tube below the interior surface of the tube. In the preferred embodiment the swivel assemblies of the sleeve are sandwiched between a first plastic member and a metal second member. This embodiment is bolted to the exterior surface of the auger tube. In an alternate embodiment, the swivel assemblies of the sleeve are engaged by a clamping bracket that is bolted to the interior surface of the auger tube.
