Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a frame configured for supporting a vehicle airbag device; a plurality of airbag support assemblies coupled to the frame, wherein each support assembly comprises an airbag coupling member movably coupled to the frame and the airbag coupling member has a protrusion below said airbag device for engaging a spring member, such that the spring member is in compression between the frame and said protrusion of the airbag coupling member, wherein said protrusion of the airbag coupling member is movable relative to the frame and pressing the airbag coupling member towards the frame further compresses the spring member; and an electrical switch assembly coupled to the frame, wherein the electrical switch assembly comprises at least one push button electrical switch for coupling to an electrical circuit; wherein pressing at least one support assembly a predetermined distance lowers a portion of the at least one support assembly towards the frame for urging a vehicle airbag device capable of being coupled to a coupling end of each airbag coupling member, against at least one switch in the electrical switch assembly.
