ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for mounting a speed control switch housing on the steering wheel assembly of an automobile. The steering wheel assembly defines an enclosure for an air bag canister. The switch housing is applied over an opening in the enclosure adjacent to the free end portion of a mounting bracket in the enclosure. The housing has a pair of hollow bosses extending toward but spaced from the free end portion of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is flexibly resilient and capable of flexing toward and away from the speed control switch housing. Screws carried by the bosses thread into the free end portion of the mounting bracket with sufficient tension to flex the free end portion toward the bosses but without contacting the bosses so that the speed control switch housing is drawn securely against a wall of the steering wheel assembly.
