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.

Abstract: A steering wheel horn assembly operates the horn of a vehicle through driver initiated application of pressure on a steering wheel body. The assembly permits a driver to activate a vehicle horn without the driver having to remove one or more hands from the steering wheel. A circular steering wheel body is bifurcated into first and second steering wheel body sections having cooperating first and second electrical contact members. The steering wheel body sections are pressed together through application of pressure from the driver's hands to an active position. In the active position, the electrical contact members engage to complete a circuit; thereby actuating an audible sound from the horn. Springs bias the steering wheel body sections apart to disengage the electrical contact members to an inactive position. Applying pressure to create the active position also actuates illumination from vehicle lights, simultaneously with the audible sound from the horn.
