Abstract:
A steering wheel horn assembly having two sections with an annular electrical circuit board member interposed and disposed between the sections and electrically coupled to a power source, an electrical ground, and an electrical horn. Also disposed within the two sections is an annular button membrane with a plurality of deformably resilient horn buttons, wherein each of the plurality of deformably resilient horn buttons have a terminal front surface and a rear surface opposing the terminal front surface and that is disposed adjacent to the annular electrical circuit board member, have a static position along a button translation path projecting through one of the plurality enclosed apertures, and have a depressed position with the rear surface directly coupled to the annular electrical circuit board member and electrically completing a circuit on the annular electrical circuit board member and causing the electrical horn to generate the audible sound.
