ABSTRACT:
An improvement in the method and apparatus for the production of that glass by the float glass method wherein molten glass is poured into a bath of molten metal, caused to float along the top of the bath, and after being sufficiently hardened, drawn off of the bath. The improvement included the use of a connecting member emerging from the molten metal bath at the upstream end thereof for receiving the falling glass before it enters the bath. The connecting member has a forward surface inclined in the direction of movement of the glass in the bath. This gives the glass a component of movement in this direction to accelerate it to a velocity compatible with the velocity of movement of the glass at the exit end of the bath. The contact of the falling glass with the connecting member before the glass passes into the surface of the bath also reduces agitation of the glass.
