MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY AND ELECTROLYZED WATER PRODUCTION DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

A membrane electrode assembly includes a rod-shaped or tubular anode, an anode terminal connected to the anode, a cathode disposed at a position apart from the anode so as to face the anode, and a membrane that separates the anode from the cathode. The cathode includes a line-shaped or strip-shaped cathode-supporting portion and a cathode claw that extends to the left, right, or both left and right from the cathode-supporting portion and that is curved along an outer periphery of the anode. The cathode-supporting portion and the cathode claw form an anode-holding portion of the cathode. The membrane includes a membrane strip, and the membrane strip is disposed on the cathode claw to be in contact with the cathode claw so that the anode is held by the anode-holding portion of the cathode with the membrane strip therebetween.

1. A membrane electrode assembly comprising:
a rod-shaped or tubular anode; an anode terminal connected to the anode; a cathode disposed at a position apart from the anode so as to face the anode; and a membrane that separates the anode and the cathode from each other, wherein the cathode has a line or strip-shaped cathode-supporting portion and (a) cathode claw(s) that extend(s) to the left, right, or both side from the cathode-supporting portion, being curved along the outer periphery of the anode, the cathode-supporting portion and the cathode claw(s) form the anode-holding portion of the cathode for holding the anode, (a) membrane strip(s) is/are provided as the membrane(s), the membrane strip(s) is/are disposed on the cathode claw(s) to be in contact with it/them so that the anode is held by the anode-holding portion of the cathode with the membrane strip(s) therebetween.
