Abstract
A horn switch and driver side airbag assembly for a motor vehicle has a lower contact integrally coupled to the top wall of the inner cover of an airbag module. The inner cover is adapted to receive the driver side airbag therein, and the top wall thereof is adpated to open outwardly when the airbag is deployed to permit the airbag to pass therethrough. An outer cover is fitted over the inner cover, and an upper contact is integrally coupled to a flexible wall of the outer cover. The flexible wall is adapted to open outwardly when the airbag is deployed to permit the airbag to pass therethrough. The upper and lower contacts thus remain securely coupled to the outer and inner covers, respectively, when the airbag is deployed and, therefore, avoid striking a passenger in the vehicle. The upper contact is spaced above the lower contact and adapted to contact the lower contact and, in turn, actuate the horn switch, by urging the flexible wall of the outer cover toward the inner cover.
