1. A device for removably mounting an airbag module to a steering wheel, the mounting device comprises:
at least one hook connected to one of the airbag module or the steering wheel, the at least one hook cooperating with at least one insertion element located on the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel and
a retaining portion of a resilient ring to form a holding element of the at least one hook on the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel in a zone of interaction with the at least one hook,
a mounting portion of the resilient ring forming a mounting rotation axis of the resilient ring to ensure the rotation of the resilient ring relative to the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel,
the resilient ring further comprises a locking portion on the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel,
wherein the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel comprises a first stop which is arranged to block the movement of the locking portion of the resilient ring in a first direction perpendicular to the mounting rotation axis.
