  • Patent number: 11648904
    Abstract: Proposed is an apparatus for coupling an airbag module to a steering wheel. A coupling open area extends completely through a steering wheel in a forward-backward direction. A hook extends from a rear portion of an airbag module to behind the steering wheel, and includes a bent portion provided on a distal end to be bent in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the hook. A fixing clip is disposed on a rear portion of the steering wheel and fixed to the steering wheel, with an end of the fixing clip being caught by and coupled to the bent portion of the hook to stop movement of the hook forward of the steering wheel. A catching protrusion protrudes from the rear portion of the steering wheel to catch the end of the fixing clip and stop movement of the fixing clip when the hook is decoupled.

  • Patent number: 11383639
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an illumination apparatus in which a light source module 100 is mounted on a steering wheel 10, an illumination element 200 is mounted on a driver airbag cover 20, and the light of the light source module 100 is transmitted to the illumination element 200 through an optical fiber 300. When the driver airbag cushion is deployed due to an accident, it is possible to prevent the scattering of the light source module 100, thereby preventing injuries to the passengers due to the light source module 100, simplifying the structure of the driver airbag cover 20 and achieving weight reduction.
