ABSTRACT:
The invention facilitates fixedly attaching to vehicle steering wheels different or variously styled driver restraint modules, while incorporating common major module components. For example, three (3) different modules use the same major module components (reaction plate, inflator, and folded air bag) but utilize different brackets for steering wheel mounting and adaptation to the styling locations of selected ones of the variously styled driver module assemblies for horn blowing, speed control, etc. This makes it possbile to use more common production tooling, i.e., for cover attachment, bag folding, etc., thus enabling manufacturing cost reduction.
