Abstract: A new and improved packaging container, and a method and apparatus for fabricating the same, comprises a laminated structure comprising a plurality of plies formed from suitable paper or similar materials. The plurality of plies, having a predetermined width dimension, are bonded together in a substantially flattened state by glue which is applied in predetermined, axially extending, laterally staggered patterns.

Abstract: A steering column module includes functional modules arranged adjacent to one another in respective parallel planes along an axial direction relative to the longitudinal axis of a steering column. Each of the functional modules is associated with a respective plug-and-socket connector. The connectors extend radially from the longitudinal axis of the steering column. The connectors each have first and second parts. The first part of each connector being connected to the respective one of the functional modules. The second part of each connector extending radially out from the respective one of the functional modules. An electronic module extends transversely to the respective parallel planes of the functional modules and are arranged against the functional modules such that the electronic module engages the second part of each of the connectors to connect the functional modules to the electronic module and a vehicle electrical system connected to the electronic module.
