Luftsack-Aufblasmodul zur Schnappbefestigung an einem Lenkrad

摘要

An air bag module base (14) is connected to a support (26) on a steering wheel by means of at least one snap-engaged fastener (32). Each fastener (32) includes a bolt (40) with a threaded shank (40b) and a threaded sleeve (38) engaged therewith and permanently secured to the base (14) by a deformed flange (38a). Locking tabs (42a) which project outwardly from a sleeve (42) surrounding the bolt shank are deformed inwardly as the fastener is forced through an aperture (26b) in the support (26) and snap outwardly on passing therethrough. A metal compression coil spring surrounds the sleeve (42) urging the base (14) and support (26) apart preventing rattling. The spring may alternatively be of rubber and not positioned around the fastener (32). Unscrewing the bolt (40) from the sleeve (38) permits the fastener to be resecurably released.
