Claims (10)

1. Lenkrad, insbesondere aus Metall, bestehend aus mehreren Bauteilen, welches bei Gefahrensituationen, vorzugsweise bei Fahrzeugen mit der Auslösung des Airbags, durch einen Auslösemechanismus seine Steifheit ändert, dadurch gekenn­ zeichnet, daß der Lenkradkranz (1) aus mehreren Glieder­ teilen (2) besteht, wobei die Glieder durch ein Drahtseil (3) oder ähnliches miteinander verbunden sind und wobei im normalen Lenkradgebrauch (Fahrbetrieb) das Drahtseil oder ähnliches gespannt ist, während es sich bei Gefahren lockert.1. Steering wheel, in particular made of metal, consisting of several components, which changes its stiffness in a dangerous situation , preferably in vehicles with the triggering of the airbag, by a trigger mechanism, characterized in that the steering wheel rim ( 1 ) consists of several links ( 2 ) there, the links are connected by a wire rope ( 3 ) or the like and the wire rope or the like is tensioned during normal steering wheel use (driving operation), while it loosens in the event of danger. 2. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Lenkradkranz aus mehreren Gliedern, auch unterschiedlicher Art, (4) besteht.2. Steering wheel from several components according to claim 1, characterized in that the steering wheel rim consists of several links, also of different types, ( 4 ). 3. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1 und 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Glieder des Lenkradkranzes durch ein oder mehrere Verbindungselemente, vorzugsweise ein Drahtseil, durch Führungen verbunden sind (5).3. Steering wheel made of several components according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that the links of the steering wheel rim are connected by guides by one or more connecting elements, preferably a wire rope ( 5 ). 4. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2 und 3, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die verbundenen Glieder mit einem Befestigungs- und Auslösemechanismus (6) an einer oder mehreren Stellen mit dem Lenkradkorpus (11) verbunden sind.4. Steering wheel from several components according to claim 1, 2 and 3, characterized in that the connected members with a fastening and triggering mechanism ( 6 ) at one or more points with the steering wheel body ( 11 ) are connected. 5. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3 und 4, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß bei diesem Befestigungs- und Auslösemechanismus im Falle einer Auslösung durch Airbags ein Kolben (7) dafür im Airbaggehäuse (8) integriert ist, der bei einer Airbagexplosion auf eine Spannmechanik ( 9) einwirkt.5. Steering wheel of several components according to claim 1, 2, 3 and 4, characterized in that in this fastening and triggering mechanism in the event of a trigger by airbags, a piston ( 7 ) for it in the airbag housing ( 8 ) is integrated, which in an airbag explosion acts on a tensioning mechanism (9). 6. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3, 4 und 5, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Spannmechanik (7 - Fig. 2, 3, 4) als zusätzliche Sicherung gegen versehentliches Lockern einen Plastiksplint (10) enthält, der im Falle einer Auslösung durch einen Airbag zermalmt wird (Fig. 3). 6. Steering wheel of several components according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, characterized in that the clamping mechanism (7 - Fig. 2, 3, 4) contains a plastic split pin ( 10 ) as an additional safeguard against accidental loosening, which in If triggered by an airbag is crushed ( Fig. 3). 7. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 und 6, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Kolben (7) an seiner Position verbleibt (Fig. 3), solange der Airbag unter Druck steht, und damit dafür Sorge trägt, daß das Verbindungselement (6) der Glieder des Lenkradkranzes, vorzugsweise ein Drahtseil, noch gespannt bleibt. Erst nach Abfallen des Airbagdrucks auf den Kolben (7), hebt sich die Spannmechanik (9) aufgrund der Spannkraft und gibt das Drahtseil frei und die Gliederteile des Lenkradkranzes lockern sich (Fig. 4).7. Steering wheel of several components according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, characterized in that the piston ( 7 ) remains in its position ( Fig. 3), as long as the airbag is under pressure, and thus ensure carries that the connecting element ( 6 ) of the links of the steering wheel rim, preferably a wire rope, remains tensioned. Only after the airbag pressure drops on the piston ( 7 ) does the tensioning mechanism ( 9 ) rise due to the tensioning force and releases the wire rope and the link parts of the steering wheel rim loosen ( Fig. 4). 8. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Auslösemechanismus der Spannmechanik durch eine Explosionseinheit bewirkt wird.8. Steering wheel of several components according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, characterized in that the trigger mechanism of the Clamping mechanism is caused by an explosion unit. 9. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 und 8, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Explosionseinheit durch einen Impuls von einem Steuergerät kommend, wobei das Steuergerät identisch mit dem des Airbags aber auch ein zusätzliches sein kann, gezündet wird.9. steering wheel of several components according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, characterized in that the explosion unit coming from a control unit by a pulse, the Control unit identical to that of the airbag but also one can be additional, is ignited. 10. Lenkrad aus mehreren Bauteilen nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 und 9 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Explosionseinheit so aufgebaut ist, daß eine präzise, aufgrund empirisch ermittelter Daten eintretende Verzögerung der Explosion erfolgt.10. steering wheel of several components according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, characterized in that the explosion unit is constructed to be precise, based on empirical Detected Delay in Explosion he follows.
