ABSTRACT:
A plugging device for connecting at least one line of an electric switching arrangement for the electrical initiation of an airbag, including two plugging device parts with contact elements for the line, and an auxiliary switching arrangement including two auxiliary contacts in association with a short circuit bridge arrangement to prevent the initiation of the airbag when the plugging device is opened. During the opening movement of the plugging device, first the two auxiliary contact are closed to close the short circuit bridge arrangement to bring about a shirt circuit to prevent the initiation of the airbag, after which the contact elements are opened. The plugging device includes a delay opening mechanism for retarding the opening movement of the plugging device between the closing of the two auxiliary contacts and the opening of the contact elements to allow a longer time to bring about the short circuit. The delay opening mechanism includes a releasable locking mechanism to lock the plugging device in a closed position, the locking mechanism including an elastically bendable grip part having a first portion to lock the plugging device in the closed position and a second stop portion to maintain the plugging device in an open position between the closing of the two auxiliary contacts and the opening of the contact elements at the end of a first movement stage during the opening movement. Thereafter, the second stop portion is released to start a second movement stage so that the plugging device can be fully opened.
