Abstract
First and second annular interengaging parts releasably connect the pouch and adhesive-backed label. A member is provided for mounting one of the parts to the label, at a normal position proximate the surface of the label. The member includes a ring-shaped section, spaced from the part, which is adapted to be affixed to the surface of the label, and an expandable section, preferably including one or more accordion-like folds, interposed between the ring-shaped section and the part, to permit the part to be displaced relative to its normal position. The member will return to its normal position unless a detachable element is inserted beneath the member to retain the part in the displaced position. The other interengaging part may be provided with a flange-like portion situated to cover the expandable section, when the parts interengage, to protect the expandable section from waste material. Auxiliary interengaging parts may be provided to prevent accidental detachment and aid in supporting the pouch.
