Abstract
Described are filling station assemblies for filling dispensers with semiliquid materials, wherein the filling station assemblies include a housing with a drive system and a brake assembly, a shaft releasably coupled to the drive system and adjacent the brake assembly, and a push rod coupled to the shaft. The drive system includes a leveraging plate that is configured to couple to the shaft so as to lower the shaft and push rod from a rest position to an advanced position when a driving force is applied to the drive system. The brake assembly includes a friction surface that is configured to maintain the shaft and push rod in the advanced position when the driving force is removed from the drive system such that the shaft is released from the drive system.
