ABSTRACT:
An integrated steering wheel and airbag module. The steering wheel includes a base having a mounting hole sized to receive an inflator. Received within the mounting hole is a resilient support block. The inflator is placed in the mounting hole over the support block, and a mounting plate clamps the inflator against the support block. The cushion may include tabs which extend through the mounting plate and are secured to fasteners. The inflator and cushion are thus secured using only the base of the steering wheel, the support block, and the mounting plate. A decorative cover completes the module, with a skirt of the cover being secured to the outer periphery of the steering wheel base.
