May 17, 2006
A horn actuating device for a motor-vehicle steering-wheel comprises a plurality of spring (8) which resiliently support an actuating element (20) constituted by the housing of the air-bag associated with the steering-whhee1 or a covering element for the steering-wheel hub. The springs (8) define movable electric contacts (26) adapted for co-operation with fixed electric contacts (17) for actuation of the horn. All these contacts are connected to electric conductive strips (14, 16) embedded in a flexible strip (15) of plastic material which is connected to supports (10) also made of plastic material, on which the above mentioned springs (8) rest.
