Abstract: A method of folding a driver airbag that has a front airbag layer connected at least in portions to a rear airbag layer includes flatly spreading the airbag onto a support surface so that the front airbag layer comes to rest on the rear airbag layer. Each of an upper airbag portion and a lower airbag portion are zigzag folded multiple times in the direction of a transverse axis of the airbag. Each of a left-hand lateral airbag portion and a right-hand lateral airbag portion are furled in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the airbag.

Abstract: A connector component (1) for fastening an airbag module (50) to a steering wheel (40) includes a steering wheel-side part (10) and a module-side part (20) movable relative to each other and biased against each other so that the module-side part is spaced apart from the steering wheel-side part in an idle position and is movable into a hooting position in which the module-side part contacts the steering wheel-side part. The module-side part (20) and the steering wheel-side part (10) are interconnected and form a multifunctional component including a guiding device for guided movement of the module-side part from the idle position into the hooting position and electric contacts for an electric horn circuit that contact each other in the hooting position. The invention also relates to a connector component and a positioning sleeve, a steering wheel, an airbag module, a steering wheel assembly and a manufacturing method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of folding an airbag (10), especially a driver airbag module, comprising a front airbag layer (11) which is connected at feast in portions to a rear airbag layer (12), the method comprising the following steps of: a) flatly spreading the airbag (10) onto a support surface (15) so that the front airbag layer (11) comes to rest on the rear airbag layer (12), b) folding, especially zigzag folding, at least in portions each of an upper airbag portion (20) and a lower airbag portion (21) in the direction of a transverse axis (Q) of the airbag (10), c) furling each of a left-hand lateral airbag portion (30) and a right-hand lateral airbag portion (31) in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L) of the airbag (10).
