  • Patent number: 8955876
    Abstract: The invention relates to a steering wheel assembly for a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, with a gas bag accommodated by a housing, which for the protection of a driver is inflatable by means of a gas generator, with a shiftably mounted carrier for accommodating the housing, which can be positioned in a rest position and at least one deflected position, and with at least one fastening device by means of which the carrier can shiftably be fixed at a steering wheel skeleton of the steering wheel. A spring biasing the carrier into the rest position is associated to the fastening device and the fastening device includes a guiding portion on which the carrier is shiftable against the force of the spring into the deflected position along a main shifting direction, along which the distance between the carrier and the steering wheel skeleton is reduced, wherein between the carrier and the guiding portion a clearance exists in a direction transverse to the main shifting direction.

  • Publication number: 20130149486
    Abstract: A method and a device for thinly coating a component on all sides are provided. A single layer is applied onto the component by casting in a casting mold, wherein during the casting process the material to be applied moves as laminar flow in the region of the decorative element. For this purpose, a casting mold consisting of a lower and an upper part is provided, in which proceeding from at least one sprue in the upper part to the side of the component to be coated a runner extends in direction of the component to be coated for filling the casting material into the casting mold, wherein in the runner in the vicinity of the component to be coated a retaining groove is provided for distributing the casting material across the width, and wherein the runner has a reduced passage subsequent to the retaining groove.
