Abstract

A spring seal includes a first substantially flat spring strip element having a plurality of slanted arms and associated notches, and a second substantially flat spring strip element having a plurality of slanted arms and associated notches oriented oppositely to the slanted arms and notches of the first substantially flat spring strip element. The first and second spring strip elements are superimposed onto each other with their oppositely oriented slanted arms forming a substantially criss-cross configuration. The criss-crossed spring arms are bent at each end and configured to define a longitudinal axis. The bent arms are folded about the longitudinal axis to form a resilient seal of enhanced strength and durability suitable for insertion into a mechanical seal jacket.
