Abstract
A float glass facility which is readily adaptable to the production of float glass ribbons of different thicknesses and particularly to so-called thick or heavy float glass, that is, thicknesses greater than 0.250 inch (6mm). Longitudinally extending fenders are installed to limit the ultimate lateral flow of the glass, and the splay of extension tiles pivotally connected to the restrictor tiles is adjusted to suitably limit the initial spread of the molten glass on the molten bath before it is delivered between the fenders. The adjacent ends of the extension and restrictor tiles meet in an enclosed joint which permits angular adjustment between the members without interference by the molten glass and bath of molten metal.
