Abstract
An airbag module for installation into a steering wheel including a gas generator carrier (18) and a covering cap (16) which are connected with each other by a snap connection (22). The gas generator carrier (18) has first projections (28) and the covering cap (16) has second projections (26) each associated to one of the first projections (28). One of the first projections (28) of the gas generator carrier (18) and an associated one of the second projections (26) of the covering cap (16) form a common extension (24) which receives a first end (30a) of a helical spring (30). There is further proposed an assembly of a steering wheel (10) and such airbag module (14).
Claims11
An airbag module for installation on a steering wheel, said airbag module comprising a gas generator carrier (18) and a covering cap (16) which are connected with each other by a snap connection (22), characterized in that said gas generator carrier (18) has first projections (28) and said covering cap (16) has second projections (26) each associated with one of said first projections (28), one of said first projections (28) of said gas generator carrier (18) and an associated one of said second projections (26) of said covering cap (16) forming a common extension (24) which receives a first end (30a) of a helical spring (30).
An assembly of a steering wheel (10) and an airbag module (14) comprising a gas generator carrier (18) and a covering cap (16) which are connected with each other by a snap connection (22), characterized in that said gas generator carrier (18) has first projections (28) and said covering cap (16) has second projections (26) each associated to one of said first projections (28), one of said first projections (28) of said gas generator carrier (18) and an associated one of said second projections (26) of said covering cap (16) forming a common extension (24) which receives a first end (30a) of a helical spring (30).
An airbag module for installation in a steering wheel, said airbag module comprising a gas generator carrier (18) and a covering cap (16) which are connected with each other by a snap connection (22), characterized in that said gas generator carrier (18) has first projections (28) and said covering cap (16) has second projections (26) each associated to one of said first projections (28), one of said first projections (28) of said gas generator carrier (18) and an associated one of said second projections (26) of said covering cap (16) forming a common extension (24) which receives a first end (30a) of a helical spring (30) wherein at least one of said extensions (24) has a contact surface (34) for establishing an electrical contact.
