Vibration absorber ring and airbag module with such a vibration absorber ring

A vibration absorber ring for oscillatory fastening of a gas generator (12) on a vehicle steering wheel (14), comprising:

• a ring axis (A);
• a support portion (18) for fastening the vibration absorber ring (10) on a retaining element, the support portion (18) has a clamping area (58) for an airbag (50), the clamping area (58) extends substantially normal to the ring axis (A);
• an absorber portion (22) for fastening the gas generator (12) on the vibration absorber ring (10), the absorber portion (22) and the support portion (18) being spaced apart from each other in the axial direction;
• and
• an elastic damping member (24) which extends in the axial direction from the absorber portion (22) to a free end (26), the elastic damping member (24) having a fastening element (28) for the gas generator (12) between the absorber portion (22) and the free end (26).
