ABSTRACT:
A membrane switch wherein the membranes have rupturable bridge members. The bridge members provide an area that is readily rupturable such that they can be appropriately placed in proximity to or adjacent a tear line such as that used in the cover of an airbag module in a motor vehicle. The membrane switch is suitable for use as horn actuation switch mounted on an airbag cover in a motor vehicle driver side airbag module assembly without unduly restricting deployment of an inflatable airbag from the module assembly.
