Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag module (16) for an occupant restraint system, comprising a module cap (28) which in the mounted condition of the airbag module (16) faces an occupant and comprising a module bottom (30) which includes a latch means for securing the airbag module (16) to a vehicle component, wherein the module cap (28) and the module bottom (30) are movable toward each other along a mounting axis (A) until they reach at first an axial pre-mounting position and then an axial final mounting position, the module cap (28) and the module bottom (30) including interacting pre-fixing elements which captively secure the module cap (28) and the module bottom (30) to each other in the pre-mounting position, the module cap (28) and the module bottom (30) including interacting resistance contours which during an axial relative movement of the module cap (28) and the module bottom (30) from the pre-mounting position to the final mounting position have a predetermined mounting resistance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a steering assembly (10) for a vehicle steering system, comprising a first coupling component, especially an airbag module (16), including at least one rigid latch hook (12), and a second coupling component, especially a mounting plate (18), including a pre-mounted spring element (14), wherein the two coupling components are movable toward each other along a mounting axis (A) until a portion of the spring element (14) engages behind the at least one latch hook (12) in a securing position and interconnects the coupling components, wherein the spring element (14) is movable between a coupling position in which the spring element (14) is largely relaxed and engages behind the at least one latch hook (12) and a decoupling position in which the spring element (14) is tensioned and is spaced apart from the latch hook (12) transversely to the mounting axis (A), the second coupling component including a retaining element (22) for fixing the spring element (14) in the decoupling position.
