A combined steering wheel and air bag modular unit is ultimately assembled. A cover (24) is first molded around a steering wheel insert (22). The cover (24) is molded as a single piece over the wheel and the area where the air bag module will be placed. In the past, two separate covers were utilized since the air bag was generally attached to the steering wheel after the steering wheel had been attached to the vehicle. The modular unit (26) is then attached from the side to the vehicle steering column shaft (32). The present invention results in increased flexibility in the location of where manufacturing steps occur, and improves the aesthetic appearance of the cover for the steering wheel and air bag.

L'invention se rapporte à une unité modulaire combinée volant et airbag assemblée en phase terminale. Un couvercle (24) est d'abord moulé autour d'une pièce rapportée (22) du volant. Ce couvercle (24) est moulé de façon à ne former qu'une seule pièce sur le volant et sur la surface dans laquelle le module de l'airbag sera placé. Auparavant, deux couvercles séparés étaient utilisés puisque l'airbag était généralement fixé au volant après que celui-ci ait été fixé au véhicule. L'unité modulaire (26) est d'abord fixée par le côté à la colonne de direction (32). La présente invention permet d'obtenir une meilleure flexibilité dans les étapes de fabrication et confère un aspect plus esthétique au couvercle recouvrant le volant et l'airbag.
