THERE ARE PROVIDED A GLASS FORMING DEVICE (10), A GLASS FORMING METHOD, A PLATE GLASS MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND A PLATE GLASS MANUFACTURING METHOD THAT CAN MANUFACTURE PLATE GLASS HAVING LESS CRACKS OR BREAKAGES. A GLASS FORMING DEVICE (10) INCLUDES A PRESS SECTION TAT INCLUDES A SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT PRESS SURFACE (331), AND A PRESSING UNIT (20) THAT PRESSES THE PRESS SECTION IN A PRESSING DIRECTION SUBSTANTIALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE PRESS SURFACE (331). A PRESSING FORCE APPLIED BY THE PRESSING UNIT (20) IS APPLIED TO THE PRESS SECTION THROUGH ELASTIC MEMBERS (26A, 26B, 26C). ACCORDINGLY, THE IMPACT GENERATED IN THIS PROCESS IS CUSHIONED BY THE ELASTIC MEMBERS (26A, 26B, 26C). THUS WHEN THE PRESS SURFACE (331) COLLIDES WITH THE MATERIAL GLASS, REBOUND IS SUPPRESSED, SO THAT THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE MATERIAL GLASS AND THE PRESS SURFACE (331) IS MAINTAINED. |
