A first seal member 50 is integrated with the surface 18a of a first metal
separator 18, and is provided with a body base portion 58 having a
trapezoidal-shaped cross-section and two protruded portions 60a and 60b
integrated to the leading end of the body base portion 58, where said
body base portion 58 is set to a height H1 for keeping a desired spring
constant necessary for impact absorptions, and the protruded portions 60a
and 60b are set to a height H2 for preventing the line pressure of the
seal member from being abruptly changed and for keeping the strengths of
the protruded portions 60a and 60b themselves.
