Abstract of the Disclosure A mechanical spring seal is provided comprising in combination an elastomeric jacket and a resilient spring insert, both having a generally C-shaped cross-sectional configuration. The major portion of the length of the spring follows a relatively shallow curvature between the base and a position along the cross section at which the spring is widest, forming a pair of opposed cantilever arms which provide the major sealing force. From this region of greatest width to the tips of the spring, the curvature is substantially sharper, enabling the end of the spring to fit in fixed locked position within the jacket which conforms to it. At the base of the C-shaped spring, the curvature is also sharper than it is in the long cantilever arm portions. The spring receiving interior concavity in the jacket is complementary in nature to the shape of the spring, and has an open side for insertion of the spring into the jacket, the inwardly angled tips of the spring preventing its release from the jacket.
