Abstract
A method of manufacturing a glass sheet according to the present invention comprises the steps of creating split flows of molten glass in a forming bodyand causing the molten glass to flow down, subsequently merging the flows at a merging point to form a glass sheet G and causing the glass sheet to flow downward in the vertical direction. In this method of manufacturing a glass sheet, a partition memberis disposed facing the glass sheet G in the vicinity of a location below the forming body, and a facing surface of the partition memberis shaped so as to correspond to a sheet thickness variation of the glass sheet G, so that a gap between the glass sheet G and the partition memberis substantially uniform.
