Abstract
A cassette for storing and dispensing objects arranged in a stack, such as end disks, has a base plate, a plurality of standoffs attached to the base plate, and a stripper plate having a removed concentric section attached to ends of the standoffs. A hub member is centrally positioned in the base plate and extends towards the central opening of the stripper plate. A biased support plate attached to base plate is in slidable contact with the hub member for supporting a portion of the loading side of an end disk resting thereon. End disks are removed for independent processing one at a time through a removed section in the stripper plate by a stream of air directed between the loading side of the top most end disk and the unloading side of the nearest adjacent end disk in the stack.
