Abstract
A unit cell of a fuel cell stack includes separators. Load receivers provided in the separators include projections, for example. The proximal ends of the projections are depressed to form inner curves. In the structure, sufficient flexibility of the projection is achieved. That is, when a force in a direction perpendicular to a stacking direction of fuel cell stack is applied to the projection, the projection is deformed in the direction perpendicular to the stacking direction.
