  • Publication number: 20060033329
    Abstract: Connecting structures made of a tubular metal element. The structure has a tubular metal element which is connected to the orifice of a chamber. The chamber is made of a thin metal sheet. The structure also has a duct shaped connecting member which is sealed onto the other end of the tubular metal element. The structure may be used for producing fuel cells when the plate which forms parallel channels, is a current collector with gas circulating channels in contact with a proton-exchanging membrane.
