A loading device for receiving, engaging and holding a cartridge container of liquid replenisher or the like. An L-shaped tilt member is pivotably mounted above a space at a receiving cradle adapted for receipt of said cartridge. One leg of said member carries transverse thereto a tubular coupling means for engaging said cartridge and its liquid contents. The said member is spring-biased about its pivot so that in the absence of a cartridge said one leg and the coupling means are swung clear of said space, with the second leg protruding into the space. A cartridge inserted into said space displaces said second leg toward a vertical position, thereby rotating the first leg toward the said space and bringing the coupling member into engagement with the cartridge.
