  • Publication number: 20220017035
    Abstract: Proposed is an apparatus for connecting a steering wheel and an airbag module. The airbag module is mounted on a front portion of the steering wheel. A coupling hole extends through the steering wheel in a front-rear direction. A hook extends from the airbag module through the coupling hole to protrude from a rear surface of the steering wheel. A bend on a distal end of the hook is bent in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the hook. A fixing clip blocks the movement of the hook in a forward direction of the steering wheel, with first end being fixed to the steering wheel, and the second end being caught by the bend of the hook. A fixing recess is indented into the steering wheel, thereby allowing the second end of the fixing clip to move in the forward direction of the steering wheel.
