Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a fuel cell. The fuel cell comprises a stacked body that has a stacked configuration by stacking a plurality of single fuel cells; a fastening support member that is extended along a stacking direction of the plurality of single fuel cells and is configured to fasten the stacked body in the stacking direction; and an impact transmission member that is configured to include a dilatant fluid and is placed between the stacked body and the fastening support member to be arranged in a location corresponding to multiple consecutive single fuel cells along the stacking direction among the plurality of single fuel cells.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A fuel cell, comprising: a stacked body that has a stacked configuration by stacking a plurality of single fuel cells; a fastening support member that is extended along a stacking direction of the plurality of single fuel cells, is configured to fasten the stacked body in the stacking direction and includes an outer cover that is configured to cover at least part of a side face of the stacked body along the stacking direction; and an impact transmission member that is configured to include a dilatant fluid and is placed between the stacked body and the fastening support member to be arranged in a location corresponding to multiple consecutive single fuel cells along the stacking direction among the plurality of single fuel cells, wherein the impact transmission member includes: a impact support film that is configured to continuously cover a bottom face of the stacked body and at least a vertically lower portion on the two side face of the stacked body in the state that the fuel cell is mounted such that the stacking direction is identical with horizontal direction; and the dilatant fluid that is placed in a space between the impact support film and a inner surface of the outer cover, and an upward ends of the impact support film that are configured to be free ends and that form an opening to the space in the state that the fuel cell is mounted such that the stacking direction is identical with horizontal direction. 2 - 4 . (canceled) 5 . The fuel cell according to claim 1 , further comprising an impact protection member that is placed between the impact transmission member and the stacked body. 6 . The fuel cell according to claim 1 , wherein the impact transmission member is placed in a location corresponding to multiple single fuel cells constituting a middle portion of the stacked body along the stacking direction.
