Abstract
A resilient braided rope seal for use in high temperature applications includes a center core of fibers, a resilient canted spring member supporting the core and at least one layer of braided sheath fibers tightly packed together overlying the spring member. The seal provides both improved load bearing and resiliency. Permanent set and hysteresis are greatly reduced.
