Auger finger assembly for a harvesting machine

An auger finger assembly comprising:

• an excenter shaft configured to be mounted inside a rotatably driven tubular auger body, the excenter shaft comprising a central longitudinal axis parallel and excentric to a central rotation axis of the auger body;
• a plurality of auger fingers, each extending along a central longitudinal axis;
• and
• a plurality of finger holders mounted adjacent to each other on the excenter shaft along a direction of the rotation axis, each of the plurality of finger holders configured to individually mount a respective one of the plurality of auger fingers, each of the plurality of finger holders comprising:
• an axial finger bearing at least partly enclosing the excenter shaft;
• and
• a radial finger seat radially projecting from the axial finger bearing, the radial finger seat configured to hold the respective one of the plurality of auger fingers at an inward end,
• wherein along the direction of the rotation axis, the radial finger seat of each of the plurality of finger holders at least partly overlaps with the axial finger bearing of at least one adjacent one of the plurality of finger holders.
