A grid finger assembly for a carton filling machine has a finger holder having a body with a slot in one end thereof adapted to seat a grid element, a retainer cavity in its other end, and a multiplicity of finger receiving recesses extending axially into the body of the holder from the cavity and about its periphery. The body also has at least one retainer recess extending inwardly thereinto from the cavity and disposed inwardly of the finger receiving recesses. A multiplicity of elongated fingers formed from a flexible, form retaining synthetic resin, have a bifurcated end portion with spaced arms seated in the finger receiving recesses of the finger holder, and an elongated body portion depending therefrom and inclined outwardly from the axis of the finger holder. A retainer has its axis parallel to the axis of the holder and has one end dimensioned and configured to seat in the retainer cavity of the finger holder, and an axial projection seating in the retainer recess of the finger holder. The retainer also has projections about its periphery extending through apertures in the bifurcated end portions of the fingers to seat them thereon. A fastener releasably secures the retainer in the cavity with the projections on its periphery disposed therein to trap the bifurcated end portions of the fingers on the projections.
