Abstract: A vibration absorber includes a carrier plate having two sides and a bore, a mass element provided on each of the two sides of the carrier plate to form a mass pair, and a connecting bolt. The connecting bolt projects through the bore and projects on both sides of the carrier plate into the mass elements to fix or connect the mass element on each side of the carrier plate on or to the carrier plate.

Abstract: A vibration damper for a motor vehicle steering wheel may comprise a gas generator for a steering wheel airbag as an inertial mass. In embodiments, the vibration damper comprises a substantially hollow-cylindrical or hollow-frustoconical resilient element which includes an elastomer material and which can be connected to the motor vehicle steering wheel and/or a motor vehicle steering wheel module, and a carrier ring which is connected to the resilient element and which can be connected to the gas generator. In embodiments, the resilient element and the carrier ring are in the form of separate components and/or the resilient element is in the form of a monolithic molded rubber component.
