The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for assembling cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridges may be assembled by coupling a base of the cartridge to a carriage that is transported via a track. The track transports the carriages between various substations at which one or more parts are added to the base. The carriage may be lifted from the track by a lifter mechanism at each substation in order to perform assembly operations on the base. An inspection system may inspect the cartridges at various stages of completion at or between the various substations.

An adjustable cable loop locking system for securing two spaced apart articles, such as a boat to dock piling, with a length of flexible cable is disclosed. The system includes first and second mechanisms slidably disposed on opposite end portions of a cable in which are formed first and second cable loops respectively. A flexible sheath, which may be a conventional hollow hydraulic hose, slidably covers a central portion of cable and is affixed on opposite ends thereof to the first and second mechanisms to fix the distance between the mechanism as measured along the central portion of the cable. The two lead-in portions of the first loop slidably extend through the first mechanism except that one of these lead-in portions which contains a free end of the cable can be selectively locked in a stationary position in the first mechanism by operation of a locking handle when desired. One of the lead-in portions of the second loop which extends from the first mechanism extends slidably through the second mechanism to the second loop, the end of the cable at the end of the second loop being fastened in the second mechanism. The arrangement permits securing two spaced apart articles together while needing to lock only the first of the two mechanisms.
