Abstract
A manufacturing method for a band-shaped glass film (GF) includes use of: a plurality of rollers () configured to change a direction of the falling band-shaped glass film (GF) to a horizontal direction; and a first horizontal-conveyance unit () configured to convey the band-shaped glass film (GF) in the horizontal direction after the changing of the direction of the band-shaped glass film (GF). After a lower end of the band-shaped glass film (GF) passes through a position between the plurality of rollers () being at a retreated position (P) and the first horizontal-conveyance unit (), the plurality of rollers () are moved from the retreated position (P) to a regular position (P) to apply a pressing force to the band-shaped glass film (GF), to thereby cut the band-shaped glass film (GF) along a width direction by bend-breaking.
