Abstract
For an elastic coupling member for a three (or more) point connection of a vibration absorber mass, like a gas generator for an airbag, to a motor vehicle part exposed to vibrations or oscillations, like a steering wheel structure, comprising a sleeve-shaped spring body firmly connectable to the vibration absorber mass and the motor vehicle part and having an axial direction, it is provided that the spring body has a different shape in its first radial sectional plane, in particular a vertical radial sectional plane, compared to a second, in particular horizontal radial section plane circumferentially offset from the first one.
Claims18
An elastic coupling member for a three or more point connection of a vibration absorber mass, such as a gas generator for an airbag, to a motor vehicle part exposed to vibrations or oscillations, such as a steering wheel structure, the coupling member comprising a sleeve-shaped spring body firmly connectable to the vibration absorber mass and the motor vehicle part and having an axial direction, wherein the spring body has a different shape in its first radial sectional plane, in particular a vertical radial sectional plane, compared to a second radial sectional plane, in particular a horizontal radial section plane circumferentially offset from the first radial sectional plane.
A three or more point connection apparatus for connection of a vibration absorber mass (3), such as a gas generator for an air bag, at a motor vehicle part exposed to vibrations or oscillations, such as a steering wheel structure, with three or more coupling members each comprising a sleeve-shaped spring body, wherein each spring body has a different shape in its first radial sectional plane, in particular a vertical radial sectional lane compared to a second radial sectional plane, in particular a horizontal radial section plane circumferentially offset from the first radial sectional plane, the connection apparatus comprising a support ring facing the motor vehicle part at the circumference of which the coupling members are firmly attached in a distributed manner at a constant circumferential.
