Abstract: In one form, the invention relates to a transmission device for transmitting an electric current to a component of a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, including a rotor which is to be arranged on the steering wheel such that it is rotatable along with the steering wheel; a stator which is to be arranged on a component of the vehicle that is stationary as compared to a rotary movement of the steering wheel; at least one conductor element by which the rotor is electrically connected with the stator; and a temperature determination device for determining the temperature of the conductor element or in the region of the conductor element. In another form, the invention also relates to a method for transmitting an electric current to a component of a steering wheel of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag system for motor vehicles, integrated in an inner trim piece, in particular, in a dashboard (16), comprising an airbag (5, 5?, 5?), which is inflatable by means of a gas generator (8, 8?, 8?). The inner trim piece comprises at least one dimensionally stable support (1, 1?,k 1?) and an airbag cover (2, 2?, 2?), which opens outwards under the pressure of the airbag (5, 5?, 5?) filling with gas. The airbag cover (2, 2?, 2?) is flexible and designed to yield to the pressure of the filling airbag (5, 5?, 5?). The airbag (5, 5?, 5?) is arranged under the cover (2, 2?, 2?) in a housing (4, 4?, 4?), connected to the support (1, 1?, 1?).

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag system for motor vehicles, integrated in an inner trim piece, in particular, in a dashboard (16), comprising an airbag (5, 5′, 5″), which is inflatable by means of a gas generator (8, 8′, 8″). The inner trim piece comprises at least one dimensionally stable support (1, 1′,k 1″) and an airbag cover (2, 2′, 2″), which opens outwards under the pressure of the airbag (5, 5′, 5″) filling with gas. The airbag cover (2, 2′, 2″) is flexible and designed to yield to the pressure of the filling airbag (5, 5′, 5″). The airbag (5, 5′, 5″) is arranged under the cover (2, 2′, 2″) in a housing (4, 4′, 4″), connected to the support (1, 1′, 1″).
