• comprising:
• a circular turntable base, the turntable base having a bottom-side, and a top-side, and three slots axially extending from the center of the turntable base;
• a center mount boss attached to the center of the bottom side;
• a drive hub plate rotationally attached to the center mount boss and parallel to the turntable, the drive hub plate having three hub plate holes;
• three spring linkages, each rotationally coupled to respective hub plate holes at a first end, each linkage including a linkage hole at a second end;
• three gripper linkages, each being elongated and having a near-end and a far-end, with the near-ends located at respective hub plate holes, and including a linkage-mount which springingly mates with respective linkage holes such that a leveraging force is placed onto the far ends;
• three grippers, each being elongated, each having a gripper-end and a connector-end, the connector-end connected to respective far-ends, the gripper ends slidably located within respective slots;
• three ramp stops, each being ramp shaped, each being mounted on the bottom-side, wherein when the drive hub plate rotates to a first position each gripper rides up a respective ramp stop and is stopped such that the gripper-end does not protrude through the top-side, and when the drive hub plate rotates to a second position each gripper rides down such that the gripper-end protrudes from the top-side.
