Abstract

The invention relates to a cartridge (1) for insertion into a receptacle of a motor vehicle handling facility having an interior chamber (2) which receives a liquid or pasty medium, an outlet (7), that can be opened so that the cartridge (1) can be used, and a data carrier (8) set up for touch-free electromagnetic signal transmission and positioned at a distance (5) to the interior chamber (2) of the cartridge (1) that is greater than a wall-thickness of the cartridge (1). Conventional cartridges of this kind are not sufficiently secure against confusion and resistant to outside influences. The task of making a cartridge available that cannot be confused, is reliable, space saving and resistant to outside influences, especially when in motor vehicle handling facilities, is solved by running an interior chamber floor (4) parallel and at a distance (5) to the floor of the cartridge (6) to which the data carrier (8) is allocated, or that the interior floor of the chamber (4) runs partially inclined to the floor of the cartridge (6) and the data carrier (8) is situated in the area of the greatest distance (11) between the interior floor of the chamber (4) and the cartridge floor (6).
