a drive wheel;
a slide comprising a first slide segment and a second slide segment, wherein the first slide segment and the second slide segment form an oblique angle;
a drive shaft receivable by the slide, wherein the drive shaft is coupled to and drivable by the drive wheel such that rotation of the drive wheel in a first rotational direction moves the drive shaft from the first slide segment to the second slide segment back to the first slide segment;
a lifting element, wherein the lifting element defines the slide and is drivable by the drive shaft; and
an ejector coupled to the lifting element and drivable by the drive shaft, wherein movement of the drive shaft from the first slide segment to the second slide segment moves the ejector and the lifting element along an axis from a home position to an ejection position, and wherein movement of the drive shaft from the second slide segment back to the first slide segment moves the ejector and the lifting element along the axis from the ejection position back to the home position.
