✦ Synopsis

A fuel cell stack includes a number of fuel cell assemblies located between a pair of endplate assemblies. The mechanism for securing the stack in its compressed (i.e. assembled) state includes at least one compression band which wraps around the endplates and the fuel cell assemblies in the stack. One or both of the endplate assemblies should comprise a resilient member which cooperates with each compression band to pull the endplate assemblies together, to promote sealing and electrical contact between the layers forming the fuel cell stack.
