    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: A glass forming apparatus may include a forming body comprising a first forming surface and a second forming surface converging at a root. The apparatus may also include at least one cradle assembly comprising a first contact surface and a second contact surface oriented in a V-configuration. The contact surfaces may be engaged with the forming surfaces. The contact surfaces may impart a holding force to the forming body, the holding force having an upward vertical force component. The forming body may also include at least one end block engaged with an end face of the forming body. The at least one end block may impart a compression force to the forming body in a direction parallel to a length of the forming body and perpendicular to the restraining force component.

    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.
