<p>A cassette (1) for holding an dispensing containers (10), which includes a housing having a base and cover and an aperture for the containers to be released from the casette (1). The housing also includes a spiral track for holding the containers (10) where each of the containers (10) comprises a structural assymetry which has a corresponding assymetry in the spiral track so as to require loading and positioning of the containers in a particular orientation within the track. The spiral track can also be formed so as to be gradually increasing in width as the track spirals inward towards the center of the cassette. An automated apparatus can include the cassette (1) for holding and dispensing containers (10), the cassette (1) having a spiral track within a housing, as well as a connecting track (3) for advancing containers from the housing to a container loading position (11), the container loading position (11) for loading containers (10) onto a conveyor (15), and the conveyor (15) for conveying the containers (10) from the loading position.</p> |
