Abstract

For an elastic coupling member for a three (or more) point connection of a vibration absorber mass, like a gas generator for an airbag, to a motor vehicle part exposed to vibrations or oscillations, like a steering wheel structure, comprising a sleeve-shaped spring body firmly connectable to the vibration absorber mass and the motor vehicle part and having an axial direction, it is provided that the spring body has a different shape in its first radial sectional plane, in particular a vertical radial sectional plane, compared to a second, in particular horizontal radial section plane circumferentially offset from the first one.
