<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cell stack wherein a case for forming a gas manifold chamber does not need to be arranged separate from the cell stack by improving the cell stack (14) arranged at a fuel cell assembly, so that the fuel cell assembly becomes sufficiently compact, and is manufactured at sufficiently low cost. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of cells are arrayed by fixing one end face of each cell (16) on a common supporting member (58) and making one face of the cell face the other face of an adjacent cell. An opening (46) penetrating from one face to the other face, and communicating with a gas flow passage is formed at one end part of each cell, and a cylinder-shaped spacer member (48) communicating with the opening (46) is fixed between adjacent cells. A gas supply tube (22) is connected either to the opening of the cell located at a front end or to the opening of the cell located at a rear end. Additional supporting members (62, 162) located at the outside of the cell located at the front end or the cell located at the rear end are arranged to support the gas supply tube. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
