ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a glass molding process using an apparatus for manufacturing a glass preform into a glass molded product. In the process a mold is prepared for pressing the glass preform. The mold consists of a pair of molds having a cavity surface for forming the glass molded product, and a frame mold which is movable against the pair of molds and incorporates a heating source. A next step in the process involves introducing the glass preform, where the pair of molds are opened and the glass preform is placed on the cavity surface. The glass preform then undergoes heating, where the glass preform is moved so as to come near the heating source of the frame mold by closing the mold, thereby heating the glass preform. The glass preform is then pressed by moving the mold to mold a shape of a glass molded product. The resulting glass molded product is then separated from the heating source by moving the frame mold and taken out by opening the mold.
