Abstract: A gas bag restraint system has a gas bag module and a fastening device for said gas bag module. The fastening device has at least one spring that during assembly comes into latching engagement with the hook. The spring has a mounting section and a hook-side latching section as well as at least one wound section provided between the mounting section and the latching section.

Abstract: A steering wheel horn contact unit has a metal contact sheet (40). The metal contact sheet (40) is embedded into a carrier part (52) of plastic and mounted therein and has at least one freely projecting horn contact tongue (46). Viewed in switching movement direction (X), the horn contact tongue (46) is surrounded by the carrier part (52).

Abstract: The invention relates to a steering wheel for motor vehicles, the steering wheel comprising a steering wheel axis, a skeleton surrounded by a foam casing, and an airbag module. The airbag module has a generator support connected with the skeleton and a covering cap fastened to the generator support. The covering cap is designed as an actuating device for generating a horn signal. At least two recesses are provided in the foam casing of the steering wheel skeleton and on the generator support insert pins are provided corresponding to the recesses. The pins have axes aligned parallel to the steering wheel axis. Further, the pins serve for centering the covering cap relative to the foam casing of the steering wheel skeleton in a plane perpendicular to the steering wheel axis.

Abstract: An airbag module for arrangement in motor vehicle steering wheels has a cup-shaped generator carrier (1) and a covering cap (2). The generator carrier (1) consists of a shaped sheet metal section with a side wall (4) aligned parallel to the steering wheel axis (3). A plurality of outwardly angled tabs (5) are provided on the upper rim of the side wall (4). A rectangular opening (6) is arranged in the side wall (4) beneath each tab. Further, a bending tongue (7) connected with the side wall (4) is provided each beneath opening (6). The covering cap (2) consists of plastic and has a surrounding side wall (8) with slits (9) that is fitted externally against the side wall (4) of the generator carrier (1). The side wall (8) has radial openings (10) for engagement of the tabs (5) and radially inwardly directed integral projections (11) each of which when fitted against the side wall (4) of the generator carrier (1) rests on a lower rim of a opening (6) of the side wall (4).
