Vehicle steering wheel

A vehicle steering wheel being rotatable around a steering wheel axis (A), comprising

• a steering wheel hub (38),
• a receiving part (12),
• an airbag module (13) with a generator carrier (10) and a module cover, said generator carrier (10) being inserted into said receiving part (12), and
• a spring (46) in contact with the hub and between the hub and the generator carrier that pushes said generator carrier (10) into a basic position relative to said receiving part (12),
• wherein said generator carrier (10) is accommodated in and guided by said receiving part (12) so as to be axially movable, at least one of said generator carrier (10) and said receiving part (12) having axially offset bearing projections (26), said bearing projections (26) adjoining at least one of said receiving part (12) and said generator carrier (10), and said bearing projections (26) providing an axial guidance,
• said generator carrier (10) and said receiving part (12) provide at least one contact element each, said contact elements being at a distance from each other in said basic position and being in contact with each other after an axial movement of said generator carrier (10) relative to said receiving part (12) against a force of said spring (46).

A vehicle steering wheel being rotatable around a steering wheel axis (A), comprising

• a steering wheel hub (38),
• a receiving part (12) firmly joined to said steering wheel hub (38), and
• an airbag module (13) with a generator carrier (10), said generator carrier (10) being inserted into said receiving part (12),
• said generator carrier (10) being accommodated in and guided by said receiving part (12) so as to be axially movable, at least one of said generator carrier (10) and said receiving part (12) having axially offset bearing projections (26), said bearing projections (26) adjoining at least one of said receiving part (12) and said generator carrier (10), and said bearing projections (26) providing an axial guidance,
• said receiving part (12) being attached to said steering wheel hub (38) by attachment elements (36), said receiving part (12) having recesses (34) for receiving said attachment elements (36), said recesses (34) being accessible from inside said receiving part (12).
