20100190087 | FUEL CELL - A fuel distribution mechanism of a fuel cell, including a fuel inlet communicating with the supply channel, a plurality of fuel outlets which are open so as to be opposite the fuel electrode, and a fuel passage communicating with the fuel inlet and the fuel outlets in order to circulate the fuel from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlets, and the fuel passage is formed between the fuel inlet and the fuel outlets and comprises a plurality of branch passages that are adjusted in passage cross-sectional shape and branch structure as the branch passages extend from upstream to downstream between the fuel passage situated upstream and the fuel outlets and that have a desired channel resistance. | 07-29-2010 |
20100266933 | COUPLER FOR FUEL CELL AND FUEL CELL - A coupler for a fuel cell according to the embodiment has a socket and a nozzle. The socket is provided on the fuel cell and has a valve body and an urging component for urging the valve body in the direction of closing it. The nozzle is provided on a fuel cartridge for storing a liquid fuel for the fuel cell and has a valve body and an urging component for urging the valve body in the direction of closing it. The valve bodies are opened to supply the liquid fuel in the fuel cartridge to the fuel cell when the nozzle is connected to the socket. The coupler for a fuel cell has a lubricity providing portion for applying lubricating properties. The lubricity providing portion is disposed on the sliding contact surfaces of the socket and the nozzle and makes sliding contact with each other when the socket and the nozzle are connected to each other or separated from each other. | 10-21-2010 |
