Patent Images
1. An assembly of a steering wheel and a static driver airbag module, the assembly comprising:
- a rotor portion and a stator portion;
a first gear and a second gear, which are at least partially superimposed;
an intermediate element supporting said first and second gear; and
a means for axially coupling said first and second gear;
said intermediate element having at least a first portion interposed between said two gears and at least a second portion extending from said first portion, said second portion defining a path for said means for axially coupling said first and second gear to disengage said means from said gears and to successively engage again said means with said gears when a relative rotation between said intermediate element and said first and second gear occurs.

Abstract
An assembly of a steering wheel with static airbag module has a rotor portion and a stator portion. A first gear and a second gear are at least partially superimposed. An intermediate supporting element is located between first and second gears with the gears directly axially coupled. An intermediate element has a portion that defines a path for the means for axially coupling said first and second gear to temporarily disengage them from the gears when a relative rotation between the intermediate element and the first and second gears occurs.
