Abstract
Hand-held placement dispenser element () and automated dispenser elements () are provided for placement of items such as metal domes or the like onto a placement position (), such as right-side-up or upside-down, perhaps by allowing only a single item or predetermined number of items to eject from a dispenser element at a time. A dispenser element may include a trigger () allowing for non-complication in use. A dispenser element could accept a cartridge (), such as a slotted cartridge (). A dispenser element and cartridge may be interchangeable. Once a cartridge is empty, it may be desirable to remove the empty cartridge and replace it with a full one.
