ABSTRACT:
Badge-plate and counterplate unit to safely apply emblems and the like on the front wall of the housing for air bag devices, in cars and other motorvehicles, and particularly onto the portion of said wall opening up, at the centre of the steering wheel, when the air bag device starts to operate. In said unit, the badge-plate (1) consists of a ring (4), formed by coining from a metal sheet in one piece with at least two projecting extruded pins (6), and of a disk (5) carrying the emblem (3) and the periphery of which is shaped so as to be steadily coupled with said ring (4). Said pins (6) have a conical cavity (8) at their free end and the counterplate comprises holes in correspondence of said pins (6), so as to be steadily associated to the badge-plate (1)--after having interposed between them the wall housing the air bag device--by riveting with a caulking the end of said pins (6) of the badge-plate onto the edge of said holes of the counterplate.
