Abstract
Provided is a current collecting material for fuel cells that improves the electrical contact between an MEA cell and a separator and improves fuel cell power generating efficiency and cycle characteristics. In the collecting material for a flat plate type fuel cell, a metal fiber knit formed by interleaving metal fiber is disposed as current collecting material (8, 9) on surfaces where the air electrode (cathode) (4) and fuel electrode (anode) (5) of a flat plate type fuel cell (10a) face the cathode side separator (6) and anode side separator (7) respectively. The metal fiber knit is sandwiched and pressed between the electrodes (4, 5) and the separators (6, 7).
Disclosed is a tubular knit glove and method of flatbed knitting. The outward portion of a thumb pouch (7) is knitted while the direction of the wales continues from the end of a four finger body (6) with a reciprocating motion in the direction of the course. Rows of stitches are knit in the center and yarn-overs (8,9) are added on each side as connecting stitches. The inward portion of a thumb pouch (10) forms rows of stitches that link with the yarn-overs (8,9) when knitting back from the end of the outward portion of the thumb pouch (7). After forming a thumb pouch (11), a five finger body (14) is knit as a circularly-knit tube wherein the knitting thread revolves in the course direction completing a glove (1).
Disclosed is a thread supply system that, with a simple configuration, enables the tension of thread in a thread supply pathway to be maintained in a proper range and the thread to be supplied from a bobbin without slack. The tension of an elastic body (30) that pulls into a retention section (10) a pulling piece (20) snagged on the thread (3Y) spooled out from a bobbin (3) is measured by a tension measurement means (40). Then, by means of a derivation means (50), using the pre-determined correlation between the tension of the elastic body (30) and the position (a physical quantity for controlling the amount of supply of thread (3Y) from the bobbin (3)) of the pulling piece (20) in the direction of pulling, said position is determined from the actual measured tension. On the basis of the determined position, the amount of supply of thread (3Y) from the bobbin (3) by a thread supply device (1) is controlled by a control means (1C).
