Abstract
A finger apparatus for an idle station of a transfer press including a pair of transfer bars each divided into an upstream side end bar, a central bar and a downstream side end bar. The central bar is adapted to be moved in and out of the press together with a moving bolster and the end bars are positioned between uprights of the press. A finger of the apparatus is mounted to a mounting plate which is connected to the central bar via quadric linkage. A cylinder is connected to the quadric linkage and the central bar for swinging the mounting plate between a first position where the mounting plate is abutted on the upper surface of the upstream side end bar and/or the downstream side end bar and a second position where the mounting plate is held above the central bar such that the finger may be moved in and out of the transfer press with the mounting bolster.
