CA 2210904

The rim and spoke armatures of an automotive steering wheel are molded into a plastic body which presents to the driver an unbroken front surface. The plastic body of the steering wheel includes a cavity in its back surface which is closed by a hub plate attached to the steering column. The cavity and the hub plate serve as an airbag module and house the inflator and the folded airbag therein. The front surface of the steering wheel body may be scored, preferably on its hidden side, to form tear lines to release the expanding airbag.

Le limbe et les rayons d'un volant de direction d'automobile sont moulés en un corps de plastique qui présente au conducteur une surface avant ininterrompue. Le corps de plastique du volant comporte une cavité dans sa surface arrière qui est fermée par un chapeau de moyeu fixé à la colonne de direction. La cavité et la chapeau de moyeu servent de module coussin gonflable et logent le dispositif de gonflage du coussin et le coussin gonflable replié. La surface avant du corps du volant peut être rayée, de préférence sur son côté caché, de manière à présenter des lignes de rupture permettant l'éjection du coussin au moment du gonflage.
