Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus includes an exit conduit positioned to deliver molten glass from a delivery vessel to an inlet conduit of a forming apparatus. The apparatus also includes a leak blocking component that circumferentially surrounds a portion of the exit conduit and is configured to inhibit flow of molten glass towards an outer surface of the glass manufacturing apparatus.

Abstract: Glass manufacturing apparatus comprise a forming body configured to draw a glass forming ribbon and positioned within an enclosure. Glass manufacturing apparatus comprise a first diffuser comprising a first inlet comprising a first inlet cross-sectional area and a first outlet comprising a first outlet cross-sectional area. The first outlet cross-sectional area is greater than the first inlet cross-sectional area. The first outlet is positioned within the enclosure. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon comprise flowing a glass-forming ribbon. Methods comprise flowing a first gas through the first inlet of a first diffuser at a first average inlet velocity. Methods comprise flowing the first gas from the first diffuser through a first outlet of the first diffuser at a first average outlet velocity. The first average inlet velocity is greater than the first average outer velocity.

Abstract: Described herein are glass forming apparatuses with cooled muffle assemblies and methods for using the same to form glass ribbons. According to one embodiment, a muffle assembly for a fusion forming apparatus may include a muffle frame comprising a back wall, a front wall opposite the back wall, and a pair of sidewalls joining the front wall to the back wall in a closed-loop. At least one first cooling tube may extend through the back wall and the front wall across the closed-loop. At least one second cooling tube may extend through the back wall and the front wall across the closed loop such that the at least one second cooling tube is spaced apart from and parallel with the at least one first cooling tube.
