Channel recesses 18 and 20 are also forehand in sheet 12 and connect patties recesses 14 and 16. It can be seen, particularly in Figure 2, that a channel recesses 18 and 20 are recessed a depth less than the depth of patties recesses 1 and 16. This perr.lits a quantity of wetting fluid to be maintained in both patties recesses 14 and 16 even though container 10 Jay be slightly tipped in one direction or another. This inhibits the flow of all of the jetting fluid into one or the other of patties recesses 14 or 16.
It can be seen that patties recesses 14 and lug and channel recesses I and 20 are symmetrically placed on generally rectangular sheet 12. Rectangular sheet 12 has a first and second side 22 and 24, respectively, and a first and second end 26 and 28, respectively.
In this preferred embodiment each of patties recesses 14 and 16 holds a number, preferably five of patties 30 each of which has attached to it a locating string 32.
The first end 26 of sheet 12 includes an array of count slots 34. Each count slot 34 is provided to hold one of the locating strings of the patties which are placed in the adjoining patties recess 14 or 16. Each count slot 34 has a generally V-shaped entry guide 36 and a slit 38 ~0l~~71 3~3 eXtendillg islet surface 12 frill the base of V-shaped guide 36. Each of slits I is designed to hold one locating string 32.
The other end 28 of sheet 12 includes a collecting slot 40 into which each of the locating strings 32 frill the patties 30 in patties recess 16 are placed. Collection slot 40 includes a V-shaped entry guide 42 and a slit 44.
