The invention relates to a device for sealing the space between two relatively movable parts, the sealing device being an integral, springy metal member shaped to form a hollow body having a domed top, two spaced apart side walls, and a bottom wall. Extensions are joined to one side wall and to the bottom wall and project in the same direction beyond the housing. The extensions overlie and are secured to one another.

A sealing device for use in effecting a hot gas seal between two relatively movable parts, said device comprising at least one springy, integral, resilient metal member having a pair of spaced apart side walls of uniform wall thickness joined at corresponding ends by a convexly domed top wall of corresponding wall thickness, at least one of said side walls being bent at its other end at an angle of substantially 90°and extending toward the other of said side walls to form a bottom wall of corresponding wall thickness underlying said top wall and spanning the space between said side walls thereby forming with said top wall and said side walls a hollow, deformable body, said bottom wall being free of said top wall and said other of said side walls and having an integral extension projecting beyond said body, said other of said side walls having at its other end an extension which extends beyond said body in overlying and confronting relation with said extension of said bottom wall, and means securing said extensions to one another, each of said top, bottom, and side walls being resiliently deformable from a non-deformed condition in response to the application of compressive force on said body in a direction to move said top wall toward said bottom wall, the movement of said top wall toward said bottom wall causing said side walls to bow outwardly of said body and said bottom wall to bow inwardly of said body, the resilience of said walls enabling them to return to their non-deformed condition in response to the removal of said compressive force.
