(JP6068897-A)      The fuel cell system comprises a number of cells, each in the form of a plate having sides with intracellular passages formed in them. Intercellular passages are also formed between a pair of cells disposed adjacent each other in the direction of stacking. The cell system further comprises two sets of partition members, the first set are in the form of an elongate bar having opposite end faces the second set having end faces which correspond to each of the cells in thickness.    One cell (c) is placed on the pair of first partition members. The second partition members are placed between the cell and columns so that the end faces of the second partition members are in tight contact with the contact surfaces of the columns. A further pair of first partition members are stacked on the cell and second partition members. This construction is repeated to form a cell assembly.    ADVANTAGE -   Absorbs dimensioned errors in components used in stacking cells. Simplifies sealing structures used in connecting gas passage defining members.    (US5376473-A)      The system consists of a number of plate shaped fuel cells (C). They are stacked to form a cell assembly (NC) with two sets of partition members (6,7) separating them. Each cell is positioned on one set of the partition members (6) so the cell side with the intercellular openings (S) is above the members. The other members (7) are in contact with the cell sides that have no passage openings. Columns (8) are erected along the corners of the cell assembly. Each column has a planar contact surface (8A) directed inward to the cell assembly. The partition end faces (6A,7A) are in tight contact with the columns' contact surface (8A). The construction is repeated to form a cell assembly.    A gas passage (11) has its opening side on the side of the cell assembly. It makes surface contact with the connecting surfaces (8B or 8C) of the column at opposite lateral ends of the cell assembly.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Decreases dimensional errors in stacking components in stacking, simplified and improved sealing structures to connect between gas passage and side surface of cell assembly.
