Abstract: A steering wheel airbag assembly (1) for a motor vehicle with a driver airbag module (2), in which the module snaps into an aligned engagement with the steering wheel during manufacture of the steering wheel. The assembly (1) includes an airbag supporting portion (4) with a plurality of apertures therein (21,31,41) and a driver airbag module (2) attached to the supporting portion (4) and having a plurality of legs (14,15,16), each of which extends slidingly into a corresponding aperture (21,31,41) being movable towards and away from the supporting portion (4). Engagement barbs (24) between each leg (14,15,16) and aperture (21,31,41) limits said movement and keeps the module (2) and supporting portion (4) attached. A spring (19) between the module (2) and the supporting portion (4) spring biases the module away from the supporting portion (4).

Engagement means (24,38) between each leg (14, 15, 16) and aperture (21, 31, 41) limits said movement and keeps the module (2) and supporting portion (4) attached. A spring (19) between the module (2) and the supporting portion (4) spring biases the module away from the supporting portion (4).
