ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (20) includes a cover cap (1) for an airbag unit accommodated in a steering wheel (20) and a frame part (3) for accommodating the airbag unit. The cover cap (1) has a body consisting of synthetic material, an actuating surface (8), an outer edge portion (18), and an integrally molded flexible web (2). The cover cap (1) is arranged for movement against an elastic return force (10) of the cover cap (1) thereby actuating horn contacts (9) in the actuating surface (8). The outer edge portion (18) of the cover cap (1) is located opposite and spaced apart from a corresponding surface (12) of the frame part (3). The flexible web (2) of the cover cap (1) extends toward the corresponding surface (12) of the frame part (3) for preventing dust and humidity from penetrating the steering wheel (20).
