Abstract
The invention concerns a movable object, e.g. a roll of printed products ( ) with a winding core ( ) onto which printed products are wound with the help of a winding tape ( ). The inventive movable object carries data stored in an integrated circuit ( ) and an antenna, whereby the data can be read or overwritten respectively without contact by a reading/writing device with a main reading direction (L). The antenna is designed as an antenna loop ( ) with a gap, whereby the ends of the loop ( ) are contacted with the integrated circuit which is e.g. arranged on a connecting piece and whereby an antenna area is defined by the antenna loop ( ). The object is position able relative to the reading/writing device ( ) such that the main reading direction (L) penetrates the antenna area vertically or obliquely.
