Patent ID: 7988056

Claim:
A code carrier that has a code carrier coil for communicating inductively with a partner device via the code carrier coil, characterized in that the code carrier coil (S 3 ) is configured as an open or closed ring (S 3 ) shaped like a triangle (S 3 ) or the projection of the code carrier coil (S 3 ) in the direction of the coil axis (A 3 ) is shaped like a triangle (S 3 ), the code carrier coil (S 3 ) or the code carrier, including the code carrier coil (S 3 ), is part of a cap (ES) that can be placed from the outside in a stable position onto an area of a corner of a cuboidal object (B 1 ) in such a way that the cap (ES) covers the area of this corner of the cuboidal object (B 1 ), functioning as a physical corner protector, a coil axis (A 3 ) of the code carrier coil (S 3 ) intersects planes encompassed by six side surfaces of the cuboidal object (B 1 ), all at an angle between 5° and 85°, preferably at an angle between 30° and 60°, and a body diagonal of the cuboidal object (B 1 ) pierces an interior of the triangle (S 3 ).
