Device for removably mounting an airbag module on a steering wheel

A device for removably mounting an airbag module to a steering wheel, the mounting device comprises:

• at least one mounting hook connected to one of the airbag module or the steering wheel, the at least one mounting hook cooperating with at least one insertion element located on the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel, and
• a mounting portion of a resilient ring for forming, in a locking position of the resilient ring, an element for holding the at least one mounting hook on the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel in a zone of interaction with the at least one mounting hook,
• the resilient ring having an unloscking position in which the mounting portion of the resilient ring is no longer in the zone of interaction with the at least one mounting hook,
• wherein the device further comprises an element for releasing the resilient ring, connected to one of the airbag module or the steering wheel and arranged so as to contact and automatically move the resilient ring during a movement of the airbag module with respect to the steering wheel for extracting the airbag module such that the resilient ring is placed back into from the locking position, wherein the element for releasing the resilient ring is distinct from the resilient ring.
