ABSTRACT:
An airbag module cover having a floating membrane horn switch freely retained within a positive gap formed between the airbag module cover and a horn switch backing plate attached thereto. The switch backing plate is supported by a spacer substantially surrounding the horn switch to provide the positive gap, which accommodates the switch without sandwiching the switch between the cover and backing plate prior to actuation by the driver. Force concentrators extending from the cover towards the switch are also provided to reduce the amount of driver applied force necessary to actuate the horn switch.
