ABSTRACT:
An automotive air bag cover including a horn switch device incorporated therein, is provided. The air bag cover includes substantially rigid front and side panels which are adapted to enclose an uninflated automotive air bag. The front panel has inner and outer surfaces and is connected to the side panels at seams to permit the inflating air bag to leave the cover as the inflating air bag exerts a force at the inner surface of the front panel sufficient to cause the front panel to separate from the side panels along the seams. The horn switch device includes a flexible, manually operable diaphragm at the outer surface of the front panel. The diaphragm has a first electrically conductive inner surface for making a circuit with a corresponding second electrically conductive inner surface of the front panel upon manual actuation of the diaphragm.
