    摘要: A holding member is used in a glass manufacturing apparatus that cools down a glass raw material that has been levitated by gas and has been heated and melted, and manufactures glass. The holding member includes a gas injection surface that includes a plurality of injection ports from which the gas is injected. The gas injection surface includes a first region and a second region, the first region including first injection ports that are some injection ports of the plurality of injection ports, the second region including second injection ports that are different from the first injection ports from among the plurality of injection ports. The first region is located inside the second region, when the gas injection surface is viewed from the top. An area of the injection ports per unit area of the first region is smaller than the area of the injection ports per the unit area of the second region. The area of the injection ports per the unit area of the first region is a ratio of the total of cross-sectional areas of the first injection ports to the area of the first region when the gas injection surface is viewed from the top. The area of the injection ports per the unit area of the second region is the ratio of the total of cross-sectional areas of the second injection ports to the area of the second region when the gas injection surface is viewed from the top.

    摘要: A glass product manufacturing apparatus includes a stirring vessel disposed in a chamber, a conduit arranged in the chamber and having an inner space through which molten glass from the stirring vessels flows, and a nozzle disposed in the chamber adjacent to the conduit and configured to jet a fluid around the conduit. Accordingly, cooling efficiency and manufacturing efficiency of the glass manufacturing apparatus may be improved.
