Abstract: A deck finger assembly for vibrating screening apparatus which includes a plurality of rod-shaped finger members that are secured in a resilient block that is compressed between a pair of clamping plates. The resilient block includes a plurality of through-holes through which the rod-shaped finger members are inserted. When the pair of clamping plates are drawn together and compress the resilient block, the through-holes in the resilient block contract radially inward and tighten about the rod-shaped finger members. By releasing the clamping plates and the compression force exerted thereby on the resilient block, the rod-like finger members can be removed and replaced as desired.
