The invention relates to a safety arrangement comprising a module support () for an airbag module () and an airbag module () to be installed in a steering wheel in a vehicle with at least two first and second horn contacts () which are electrically isolated from one another in the installed state and can be electrically contact-connected to one another in the activation state in order to trigger an acoustic horn signal, with at least one of the first or second horn contacts comprising a plurality of horn contact sections (') and the airbag module () being electrically conductively connected to the horn contact sections (&#x2032;) when the airbag module is installed in order to complete the horn contact.

Safety arrangement and method for the production of such a safety arrangement

A safety arrangement includes an airbag housing, a cover and pair of horn contacts for actuating a vehicle horn. The airbag housing mounts to a steering wheel frame. The cover is resiliently mounted on the housing and spaced therefrom such that the cover may be depressed towards the housing to close the horn contacts. The housing and cover are hooked to one another for preventing subsequent disconnection of the cover from the housing upon release of the cover to open the horn contacts. A stop is mounted to one of the cover and the housing for movement between a operable position, in which the stop arrests relative movement of the cover and housing towards one another so as to prevent un-hooking of the cover from the housing, and an assembly position, in which the cover may be depressed sufficiently far towards the housing to allow un-hooking of the cover from the housing and consequent disconnection of the housing and cover upon release of the cover.

Safety arrangement and a method of assembling a safety arrangement

The invention relates to a safety apparatus in a motor vehicle having a sensor device in communication with an evaluation unit within which sensor data are evaluated. The evaluation unit is in communication with at least one drive device that can move at least one energy-absorbing element from a rest position to a working position next to the seat or next to an occupant and back again.
