An adapter device is described for fastening an information carrier to a support trail provided with two retaining means, wherein the adapter device includes a first leg and a second leg, each of which is supportable on one of the two retaining means. This adapter device is to be refined in such a way that a secure retention of the adapter device on the support rail is ensured, even after repeated mounting of the adapter device on or removal of the adapter device from the support rail and, at the same time, the costs for producing the adapter device are preferably minimal. To achieve this object, it is proposed to connect the first leg and the second leg to one another via a joint, wherein the first leg includes a first connection means for connecting the information carrier to the first leg, and the second leg includes a second connection means for connecting the information carrier to the second leg in such a way that in a mounted state, in which the information carrier is not connected to the adapter device, the first and the second leg are freely pivotable about the joint, and in a blockage state, in which the information carrier is connectable to the adapter device via the first and the second connection means, the joint may be blocked by the information carrier itself.
