A restoring torque generating device for generating a restoring torque acting on a steering handle of a vehicle comprising a first spring unit for generating a first restoring torque, a second spring unit for generating a second restoring torque, a driver cooperating with the first and the second spring unit. The driver can be coupled with a steering shaft of the vehicle such that during a rotation of the steering shaft in a first direction of rotation it acts on the first spring unit and during a rotation of the steering shaft in an opposite, second direction of rotation it acts on the second spring unit.

The invention relates to a locking device for locking a movable component, in particular a superposition drive of a superimposed steering system, comprising a locking element reciprocatable between a locking position and a release position, which in the locking position cooperates with a movable component located outside a housing of the locking device; and a damping device which damps a movement of the locking element into the release position. The damping device comprises a damping element with a damping portion which is located outside the housing of the locking device. The locking device is designed such that during a movement of the locking element into the release position an end of the locking element moves out of the housing of the locking device and impinges on the damping portion.

A gas bag arrangement for a motor vehicle is provided. The gas bag arrangement contains a gas bag which can be deployed for the protection of a person present outside the motor vehicle along at least a section of the outside of the windshield or another portion of an outside of the motor vehicle, at least one pressure reducing device for reducing the internal pressure at least of a partial region of the at least partly inflated gas bag, and a means for moving at least a section of the at least partly inflated gas bag out of the field of view of a vehicle occupant of the vehicle.

A steering device for a motor vehicle is provided. The steering device comprises a steering wheel, a superposition gearing and a gearing housing, wherein the superposition gearing is arranged in the gearing housing. The superposition gearing is designed to transmit a motor-driven adjusting movement to a steering shaft. The steering wheel forms a steering wheel base which serves for a connection to the steering shaft. It is provided that at least one constituent of the gearing housing, which constituent serves for mounting and/or fixing a gearing element of the superposition gearing or of a drive motor, is integrated into and formed in one piece with the steering wheel base of the steering wheel.

A steering wheel for a motor vehicle is provided. In one form, the steering wheel includes: a steering wheel rim, via which the steering wheel can be actuated by a driver of the motor vehicle for generating a steering angle, a superposition drive for generating a steering angle which can be superimposed with a steering angle generated by actuating the steering wheel rim, a locking means different from the superposition drive, with which the superposition drive can be locked by mechanical action and bearing means, by means of which a housing of the locking means is elastically mounted on a housing of the superposition drive such that it can carry out a compensating movement relative to the housing of the superposition drive.

Steering wheel for a motor vehicle

A steering wheel for a motor vehicle is provided. The steering wheel includes a steering wheel rim for rotating actuation of the steering wheel, a steering wheel hub for connecting the steering wheel with a steering shaft of a motor vehicle and a superposition drive for the actuation of a superposition steering by means of which said steering a steering angle created by actuation of the steering wheel rim can be superposed by a superposed angle that can be created by the superposition steering so that a respective rotation movement of a steering shaft connected with the steering wheel is composed of a steering angle that can be created by actuation of the steering wheel rim and a superposed angle that can be created by actuation of the superposition steering. An arresting appliance is provided on the steering wheel, separate from the components of the superposition steering for creating the superposed angle.

Steering wheel for a motor vehicle having superimposed steering

A steering device for a motor vehicle is provided. The steering device has a steering wheel, having a steering shaft and having a superposition gearing which is arranged in or on the steering wheel and which is designed to transmit a motor-driven adjusting movement to the steering shaft. In one form, at least one interface is provided which, in the presence of a defined condition, separates or limits a transmission of force between the steering shaft and the superposition gearing. The interface is for example an overload clutch.

An airbag module for a motor vehicle includes a gas sack that can be inflated with gas to protect an occupant, a gas generator for generating the gas provided for inflating the gas sack, and an additional cooling device comprising an openable reservoir for storing a coolant. The reservoir is opened when the gas sack is inflated, so that the coolant for cooling the gas used to inflate the gas sack can come into contact with the gas. The cooling device comprises a movement generating device that opens the reservoir to release the coolant.

A steering device for a superposition steering system is provided using at least one actuator. The device is based on the object of producing a superposition steering system which requires no additional installation space in the steering column. The actuator for the superposition steering system is therefore arranged in the steering wheel.

A hinge for connecting a hood, especially an engine hood, to a vehicle body, having a least one hinge carrier arranged on the vehicle body, at least one hinge arm arranged on the hood and at least one connecting part for the pivotable connection of the hinge arm to the hinge carrier. The connection of the hinge arm to the hinge carrier is released in the event of an accident by removal and/or destruction of the connecting part. The connecting part is configured to be removed and/or destroyed by forces acting in a direction of a pivot axis of the hinge, in the event of an accident.
