Patent ID: 8201847

Claim:
A safety arrangement comprising: an airbag housing for mounting to a steering wheel frame; a cover being resiliently mounted on the housing and spaced therefrom such that the cover may be depressed towards the housing to close a a pair of horn contacts for actuating a vehicle horn, the housing and cover further being hooked to one another for preventing subsequent disconnection of the cover from the housing upon release of the cover to open the horn contacts; and a stop mounted to the one of the cover and the housing for movement between a operable position, in which the stop arrests relative movement of the cover and housing towards one another so as to prevent un-hooking of the cover from the housing, and an assembly position, in which the cover may be depressed sufficiently far towards the housing to allow un-hooking of the cover from the housing and consequent disconnection of the housing and cover upon release of the cover.
