Abstract:
A protective device for the driver of a motor vehicle includes an airbag module (16). The airbag module (16) has an inflatable airbag (24). The airbag module (16) is arranged behind an instrument panel (12) of the vehicle. The airbag (24) in an inflated state extends in a space which is delimited substantially by a driver's door (26), an A-column (28) and a steering wheel (10) of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A vehicle interior decor element, in particular an air bag cover, comprising a front side (36) facing the vehicle interior and an opposite rear side (34), a cover (18) and a decorative element (20) which is provided at the cover (18), is visible from the front and is at least partly translucent. The decorative element (20) includes sections (24) between which the decorative element (20) has a gap (26) through which the cover (18) is accessible from the front side (36). The decorative element (20) extends with at least one portion (44) thereof towards the rear side (34) towards or into a cavity (42) which is formed in the cover (18) and in which an illuminant (50) for illuminating the decorative element (20) is accommodated.
Abstract:
A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system includes a housing and a gas bag (12) accommodated in the housing. The gas bag has a gas bag wall (16). The gas bag module further includes a discharge arrangement (18) having an energetic element (22) for the selective provision of a discharge opening. The energetic element (22) is able to be activated by a control unit (20). The discharge opening is provided by material conversion of the energetic element (22).
Abstract:
A gas bag module (10) comprises a gas generator (16) and a generator carrier (12), to which the gas generator (16) is fastened and via which the gas generator (16) can be fastened directly or indirectly to a vehicle steering wheel (100). The generator carrier (12) consists at least partially of a multiple-component plastic (30, 32). There is further proposed a vehicle steering wheel (100) including such gas bag module (10).
Abstract:
A device, in particular a vehicle interior component, includes a base body (10) made of a first plastic material which is suitable for injection molding and for coating with chromium. The device furthermore includes at least one elastic partial body (16, 18) molded to the base body (10), which is made of a second plastic material which is suitable for injection molding, but not for coating with chromium. A method for manufacturing such a device with a base body (10) coated with chromium comprises the following steps: injection molding a base body (10) of the first plastic material; injection molding the partial body (16, 18) of the second plastic material to the base body (10); electroplating a chromium coating onto the base body (10), wherein the base body (10) passes through a chrome-plating bath together with the integrally molded partial body (16, 18).
Abstract:
A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint device includes a rigid component (16). The rigid component (16) has a discharge opening (14) formed therein through which gas can escape. A control element (10) is arranged at the discharge opening (14). The control element (10) assumes a rolled-up state in the case of low pressure action and assumes an unrolled state in the case of greater pressure action.
Abstract:
A gas bag module for a vehicle occupant protection system includes a gas bag (12) and a module covering cap (14). The gas bag (12) has at least one outflow opening (20). The covering cap (14) includes at least one section (16), which is flapped open on unfolding of the gas bag (12). The outflow opening (20) is formed in a region which, in the unfolded state of the gas bag (12), lies opposite the flapped open section (16) of the covering cap (14).
Abstract:
A gas bag module for installation in a vehicle steering wheel comprises a carrier, a gas generator mounted to the carrier, and a multi-function conductor film. The multi-function conductor film is disposed on a rear side of the gas generator and on a rear side of the carrier.
