Abstract

An attachment member is provided for suspending an information carrier at the outer end of a unit-packaging holder. The attachment member includes a flexible bracket (8) having a pin member (9, 11) formed in both ends thereof for permanently fixing in a recess (6) provided for this purpose in the information carrier (1). The attachment member includes a bulge (12) provided on the inside of the bracket, the cross-sectional size of the bulge being adapted to the spacing between the legs of the holder in order to permit the bracket and information carrier, in a first receiving position, to hang swing freely from the holder and, in a second receiving position, releasably fix the attachment member and the information carrier with the holder legs in clamping connection with the bulge and in axial alignment with the holder.
