An embodiment airbag device includes a first airbag configured to be deployed in a shape covering a lateral outer periphery in a vehicle and a second airbag configured to be deployed at a position different from a position of the first airbag in the vehicle and coupled and supported by a coupling device at a portion where the second airbag overlaps the first airbag.

Airbag device

A steering wheel includes a damper unit and an airbag cover configured to move, when a horn is activated, in a horn operation direction with respect to an airbag housing. The damper unit includes a damper made of insulating material coupled to the airbag housing, a switch assembly coupled to the airbag housing in an insulating state via the damper and coupled to the steering wheel to be continuously energized, and a spring. The spring is coupled to the airbag housing to be continuously energized and selectively electrically conducted with the switch assembly depending on whether the airbag cover is in contact with the switch assembly due to elastic deformation when the airbag cover moves in the horn operation direction.

Steering wheel and damper unit thereof

A driver airbag module with a lighting device is proposed. The driver airbag module comprises an airbag cover, covering a driver airbag, configured to unfold toward a front space of a driver when the driver airbag is operated, wherein the airbag cover is located above the driver airbag. The airbag module further comprises the lighting device, wherein the lighting device comprises a plurality of lamps which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, configured to emit light, located below the airbag cover, and coupled to the airbag cover such that the light emitted from the plurality of lamps is exposed to an upper space of the airbag cover. The airbag module further comprises a lighting controller configured to control flashing of the lighting device based on a driving condition of a vehicle, a charging status of a power source, and/or a driver condition.

The emblem for a steering wheel includes: a rim of the steering wheel; the rim including a coupling groove formed in an outer surface thereof; an emblem bracket coupled into the coupling groove; and an emblem assembly including an emblem body, an emblem logo, and a logo portion formed on the emblem logo, the emblem assembly fastened into the emblem bracket in a state in which the logo portion is exposed from a surface of the emblem body.

Emblem for steering wheel

A horn actuating device of a motor vehicle is provided to enhance operating feeling of a horn actuating cover installed on a steering wheel. The horn actuating device prevents shaking of a horn actuating cover and prevents deterioration of operating feeling of the horn actuating cover by adopting a structural elastic member configured such that after the horn actuating cover for actuating a horn is actuated, the elastic member for returning the horn actuating cover back to an original position restrains shaking of the horn actuating cover and then installing the elastic member between the horn actuating cover and a horn mounting portion.

Horn actuating device of motor vehicle

A front airbag for vehicles including an airbag cushion may include a rear panel located at the side of a steering wheel and a front panel located at the side of a passenger and having a shape corresponding to the shape of the rear panel, the rear panel and the front panel provided with protruding supports formed at both sides of the lower end portions thereof, a first tether connecting the central part of the front panel, corresponding to a loading position of the passenger's head, to an airbag housing, and second tethers connecting the lower end portion of the front panel, corresponding to a loading position of the passenger's chest, to the airbag housing and having a shorter length than that of the first tether.

Front airbag for vehicles

A motor driven steering column system of a vehicle capable of interchanging tilt/telescopic modes using a single motor generating driving force by switching power transfer routes of the single motor using a small-sized motor in tilt/telescopic operations. The motor driven steering column system includes a driving motor generating rotational force for tilt/telescopic operations by receiving battery power according to a control signal of a mode control switch, an ECU selectively transferring the rotational force of the driving motor by determining the tilt/telescopic modes according to the control signal of the mode control switch, and a power switching unit controlled by the ECU for operating the motor driven steering column system in a selected mode.

Motor driven steering column system of vehicle capable of interchanging tilt/telescopic modes using gears

[A] remote control button assembly with a combined type button arrangement structure of a front button and a side button capable of effectively using a front surface engaging region and a lateral surface engaging region of a steering wheel. [Even] when the number of the buttons is increased, it is possible to achieve enough engaging area and sufficient button size for each button so that each button can function effectively and not be too small for the driver. Therefore, handling and operation ability of each button is enhanced. The remote control button assembly built into a steering wheel according to the present invention includes at least more than three front buttons provided on a front surface of a steering wheel, and at least one side button provided in a lower portion of a lateral surface of one side of the engaging region in which the front buttons are provided.
