Clip tray and method of retaining and individually releasing cylindrical shaped objects

A clip tray for presenting, retaining and releasing a disk-like cylindrical container having a cylindrical sidewall and two generally planar end walls, comprising:

• a structure defining fixed contacts adapted to contact and adjoin the cylindrical sidewall of the container at positions spaced circumferentially less than 180 degrees around the cylindrical sidewall of the container;
• a divider adapted to contact one of the generally planar end walls of the container, the divider connected to the structure defining the fixed contacts;
• and
• a release tab defining a movable contact adapted to contact and adjoin the cylindrical sidewall of the container at a position which cumulatively with the contacts at positions less than 180 degree extends the circumferential contact with the cylindrical sidewall to greater than 180 degrees around the cylindrical sidewall of the container when the release tab is in a first position, the release tab being moveable to a second position in which the movable contact is separated from the cylindrical sidewall of the container to permit only the fixed contacts to contact the cylindrical sidewall at less than 180 degrees of circumference of the cylindrical sidewall.
