1. Neuartige Rastverbindung zwischen einem Airbagmodul und einem Lenkrad, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Konstruktion von einer sich in einer Ebene erstreckenden Feder (3) aus­ geht, mit zwei an den Seiten einer Wicklung abstehenden Schenkeln, von denen einer ein abgewinkeltes Endstück auf­ weist, welches mit einer entsprechenden Öffnung im Gehäuse (1) des Airbag in Eingriff steht und einen festen Abstütz­ punkt der Feder (3) definiert, während der zweite, eine größere Länge als der Erste aufweisende und mit diesem einen spitzen Winkel einschließende Schenkel sich in seiner Ruhestellung im Inneren einer im Gehäuse (1) des Airbag vorhandenen Kammer in Halteeingriff mit einem Zapfen (4) befindet, wobei für die Feder (3) eine Anlenkung (6) in Form eines am Gehäuse (1) des Airbag hervorstehenden zylindri­ schen Vorsprungs vorgesehen ist, dessen Durchmesser dem Innendurchmesser der Wicklung der Feder (3) entspricht, und daß der Zapfen (4) einen prismatischen Körper aufweist, mit einem an der mit der Feder (3) in Berührung stehenden Seite pfeilförmig ausgebildeten Endstück, und an der für die An­ bringung des Airbag (1) vorgesehenen Oberfläche des Lenkrads hervorsteht, um als Verbindungselement wirksam zu sein.1. Novel latching connection between an airbag module and a steering wheel, characterized in that the construction is based on a spring ( 3 ) extending in one plane, with two legs projecting on the sides of a winding, one of which has an angled end piece, which is in engagement with a corresponding opening in the housing ( 1 ) of the airbag and defines a fixed support point of the spring ( 3 ), while the second, having a greater length than the first and including an acute angle with this leg in its rest position inside a housing in the housing ( 1 ) of the airbag is in holding engagement with a pin ( 4 ), a linkage ( 6 ) in the form of a protruding from the housing ( 1 ) of the airbag being provided for the spring ( 3 ) , whose diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the winding of the spring ( 3 ), and that the pin ( 4 ) has a prismatic Body has, with an on the side with the spring ( 3 ) in contact arrow-shaped end piece, and on the for the attachment of the airbag ( 1 ) provided surface of the steering wheel protrudes to be effective as a connecting element. 2. Neuartige Rastverbindung zwischen einem Airbagmodul und einem Lenkrad nach dem ersten Anspruch, dadurch gekennzeich­ net, daß ein Zugang (2) zum Lösen der Verbindung vorgesehen ist, durch welchen ein Werkzeug von außen einführbar ist, mittels dessen der in seiner Ruhestellung den Zapfen (4) festhaltende Schenkel der Feder (3) in eine Freigabestellung (31) bewegbar ist, in welcher die Rastverbindung gelöst und der Airbag (1) vom Lenkrad abnehmbar ist.2. Novel locking connection between an airbag module and a steering wheel according to the first claim, characterized in that an access ( 2 ) is provided for releasing the connection, through which a tool can be inserted from the outside, by means of which in its rest position the pin ( 4 ) holding leg of the spring ( 3 ) can be moved into a release position ( 31 ), in which the latching connection is released and the airbag ( 1 ) can be removed from the steering wheel. 3. Neuartige Rastverbindung zwischen einem Airbagmodul und einem Lenkrad nach den vorstehenden Ansprüchen, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in einer zweiten Ausführungsform eine mehrfach abgewinkelte, im wesentlichen U-förmige Feder (3') vorgesehen ist, welche zwei Wicklungen und zwei davon aus­ gehende Schenkel aufweist, deren abgewinkelte Endstücke sich mit entsprechenden Aussparungen am Gehäuse (1) des Airbag in Eingriff befinden und feste Abstützpunkte der Feder (3') definieren, wobei die beiden Wicklungen eine Anlenkung (6) der Feder (3') definieren und zu diesem Zweck auf zwei an der Wandung des Gehäuses (1) des Airbag vorhandene zylin­ drische Körper entsprechenden Durchmessers aufgesetzt sind.3. Novel locking connection between an airbag module and a steering wheel according to the preceding claims, characterized in that a multiple angled, substantially U-shaped spring ( 3 ') is provided in a second embodiment, which has two windings and two of them outgoing legs , the angled end pieces of which are in engagement with corresponding recesses on the housing ( 1 ) of the airbag and define fixed support points for the spring ( 3 '), the two windings defining an articulation ( 6 ) of the spring ( 3 ') and for this purpose two on the wall of the housing ( 1 ) of the airbag existing cylindrical body corresponding diameter are placed. 4. Neuartige Rastverbindung zwischen einem Airbagmodul und einem Lenkrad nach Anspruch drei, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Zapfen (4) in der ersten und in der zweiten Ausfüh­ rungsform die gleiche Form aufweist und von der Feder (3') in deren Ruhestellung festgehalten ist, wobei er in stän­ diger Berührung mit der Feder (3') steht, und daß ein Zugang (2) zum Lösen der Verbindung vorgesehen ist, unter Verwen­ dung eines Werkzeugs, mittels dessen der Widerstand der Feder (3') überwindbar und dadurch der Zapfen (4) freigebbar ist.4. Novel locking connection between an airbag module and a steering wheel according to claim three, characterized in that the pin ( 4 ) approximately in the first and in the second Ausfüh approximate shape and is held by the spring ( 3 ') in its rest position, wherein he is in constant contact with the spring ( 3 '), and that an access ( 2 ) is provided for releasing the connection, using a tool by means of which the resistance of the spring ( 3 ') can be overcome and thereby the pin ( 4 ) can be released. 5. Neuartige Rastverbindung zwischen einem Airbagmodul und einem Lenkrad nach den Ansprüchen eins und drei, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Rastverbindungen jeweils paarweise am Lenkrad und am Gehäuse des Airbag vorhanden sind, und daß alle Einzelteile aus Kunststoff gefertigt sind, mit Ausnahme der Federn (3) und (3'), welche aus Metall gefer­ tigt sind.5. Novel locking connection between an airbag module and a steering wheel according to claims one and three, characterized in that the locking connections are provided in pairs on the steering wheel and the housing of the airbag, and that all items are made of plastic, with the exception of the springs ( 3rd ) and ( 3 '), which are made of metal.
