ABSTRACT:
A fastening assembly for mounting an inflatable module on a vehicle includes a support structure arranged for securing the inflatable module to a vehicle component for the like, and a coupling member projecting from the support structure and provided with a coupling aperture. Insertable into the coupling aperture is a further coupling element which is secured to the vehicle component and the coupling insertion secures fastening of the module to the vehicle component. In one embodiment, the coupling member includes an arm having a cam-following portion arranged for camming engagement against a coupling tongue on the vehicle component so that the camming engagement produces deflection of the coupling arm until the coupling aperture reversely deflects in snap-action bringing insertion of the tongue therethrough into a wedged, locking position which prevents withdrawal of the inflatable module in the mounted position, for example in the steering wheel hub.
