The letters and numbers of which the information (14) recorded on the spring steel strip (11) is composed are cut into the strip as recesses with the contour of the letters and numbers by a laser cutting process. The case (12) may be designed as the head of the ignition key of a vehicle, the key bit (23) being fixedly inserted into a block-like extension (22) of the case (12).
The housing 12 includes corners 17.sub.1 to 17.sub.5 jacket wall parts 19.sub.1 to 19.sub.5 of the housing jacket project substantially perpendicularly from bottom 18 of the box-shaped housing part 12'. The corner 17.sub.1 through which line of symmetry 15 runs, encloses an angle α.sub.1 of approximately 90 17.sub.5 adjacent to corner 17.sub.1, an angle α.sub.2 of approximately 108 angle of the regular pentagon.
Pull-out slot 21 through which spring steel band 11 can be pulled out of housing 12 is located on the corner 17.sub.1 of box-shaped housing part 12' at which the two jacket sections 19.sub.1 and 19.sub.5 of the housing jacket, leaving slot 21, "abut" one another. The jacket sections 19.sub.2 and 19.sub.4 abutting these two jacket wall sections l9.sub.1 and 19.sub.5 at corners 17.sub.2 and 17.sub.5 are slightly longer so that, as seen in a top view, an approximately "kite-shaped" outside contour of housing 12 results.
In the embodiment shown, lid 12" is designed as a flat plate whose marginal edges 24.sub.1 to 24.sub.5, with the housing 12 in the assembled state, fit flush with the outer limiting surfaces of jacket wall sections 19.sub.1 to 19.sub.5 of the box-shaped housing part 12' with lid 12" fitting tightly against the free end faces of jacket wall sections 19.sub.1 to 19.sub.5 of the box-shaped housing part 12' and which forms a lateral limit to pullout slot 21. To secure lid 12" to the box-shaped housing part 12' screws are provided, projecting through openings 26 in lid part 12" and with their heads sinkable into these openings, said screws being screwable into threads that are provided on threaded blocks 27 that are located on the insides of the longer jacket wall sections 19.sub.2 and 19.sub.4.
Central axis 32 of pin 28 runs in the embodiment shown through the intersection of lengthwise center line 15 with the connecting line of corners 17.sub.2 and 17.sub.5, from which the jacket wall sections 19.sub.1 and l9.sub.5 pointing toward pullout slot 21 depart. In addition, lid part 12" is provided with a counterbearing pin 33 located at a radial distance from central pin 28, on which pin 33 the pullout side end of spring steel band 11 is radially supportable, thus preventing the spring steel band from unrolling when lid part 12" is removed.
