- the vapor film forming agent is supplied to the support 52 by passing through the tank 74.
- a glass having a high devitrification temperature (viscosity of less than 300,000 Vise, especially 100,000 to 200,000 Vise) is formed by the thin glass manufacturing apparatus 10 configured as described above. Will be described.
- the glass lipon GR formed at the lower edge 30 of the molded body 1 2 is pulled downward through the non-contact support member 14, and then is horizontally moved in a non-contact state by the non-contact horizontal pulling device 16. And drawn into thin glass.
- the glass ribbon GR formed by the molded body 12 is supported in a non-contact state through the thin gas layer 32 over the entire width of the glass ribbon GR, as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. to, the support the weight of the non-contact support 1 4 from the upper side of the glass Ripon portion GR t contactlessly supporting member 1 4, from the non-contact support member self weight and tension of the lower side Garasuripon portion GR 2 is the upper Garasuripon Part GR) can be suppressed.
- the force applied to the low-viscosity glass lipon near the lower edge of the molded body 12 becomes smaller, so that the glass having a viscosity of less than 300.
- the glass lipon GR does not grow rapidly due to its own weight or tensile force.
- the glass ribbon GR is formed by removing a gas thin layer 32 having a small thermal conductivity. The glass ribbon GR is not cooled down rapidly because it is supported through. Further, the glass ribbon GR is supported through the thin gas layer 32 over the entire width of the glass ribbon GR, and the glass ribbon GR is not directly in contact with the non-contact support member 14, so that the glass ribbon GR is not damaged.
- the glass ribbon GR pulled downward through the non-contact support member 14 is transferred to the direction changing roller 48 through the thin gas layer 32 having small heat conductivity through the direction change roller 48.
- the direction of the glass lipon GR was changed, and the direction of the turned glass rifon GR could be transferred and supported by the transfer support 50 via the thin gas layer 32 having small thermal conductivity.
- mold the glass which is easy to devitrify is greatly eased, and it is suitable for the board
- Special glass with high devitrification temperature, such as used, can be easily formed. Further, according to the present invention, since a slow cooling time can be sufficiently secured without requiring a long work space above and below a high building, distortion remaining in the glass can be surely removed.
