Abstract: An apparatus for making a glass sheet using overflow fusion down-draw process comprising an inlet assembly having an elliptic cylindrical section coupled to a transition section which is, in turn, coupled to an open end of an open channel of an isopipe, and an overflow fusion down-draw process for making glass sheet. The glass melt flow has a high surface velocity profile conducive to the formation of a glass ribbon over the surface of the weirs and the wedge side surfaces with the desired mass distribution.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a forming body of a glass forming apparatus may include an upper portion with a first forming surface and a second forming surface extending from the upper portion. The first forming surface and the second forming surface may converge at a bottom edge of the forming body. A trough for receiving molten glass may be positioned in the upper portion of the forming body. The trough may include a first weir, a second weir opposite from and spaced apart from the first weir, and a base extending between the first weir and the second weir. At least a portion of a vertical surface of the first weir may curve inward towards a centerline of the trough. Similarly, at least a portion of a vertical surface of the second weir may curve inward towards the centerline of the trough.

Abstract: Glass manufacturing apparatuses with cooling devices and methods for using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus for forming a glass web from molten glass includes an enclosure and pulling rolls that cooperate to draw a glass web in a draw direction rotatably positioned in an interior of the enclosure. A cooling device for extracting heat from the glass web is in fluid communication with a cooling fluid source and includes an actively cooled flapper disposed in the interior of the enclosure that is movable to facilitate varying the heat extraction. The actively cooled flapper serves as a heat sink in the interior of the enclosure and the cooling fluid extracts heat from the actively cooled flapper to remove heat from the glass web and the enclosure.

Abstract: A glass forming apparatus and method include a weir on at least a first side of a molten core glass reservoir. The weir includes an inclined surface that, in the intended direction of molten glass flow, slopes downward in the vertical direction while extending away from the molten core glass reservoir in the horizontal direction. A source of molten clad glass is configured above the glass forming apparatus such that when molten clad glass is flowing down and molten core glass is flowing over the weir, the molten clad glass drops onto the molten core glass at a highest upstream contact point that is located directly above the inclined surface of the weir.
