Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a glass article includes flowing a glass ribbon through a transition region, heating the glass ribbon with a heating mechanism housed in the transition region, cooling the glass ribbon with a cooling mechanism housed in the transition region, wherein the cooling mechanism extends between the heating mechanism and the glass ribbon, and shielding the glass ribbon with a shielding mechanism that extends between the cooling mechanism and at least one of first and second bead regions of the glass ribbon.

Abstract: Glass manufacturing apparatus comprise a forming body configured to draw a glass forming ribbon and positioned within an enclosure. Glass manufacturing apparatus comprise a first diffuser comprising a first inlet comprising a first inlet cross-sectional area and a first outlet comprising a first outlet cross-sectional area. The first outlet cross-sectional area is greater than the first inlet cross-sectional area. The first outlet is positioned within the enclosure. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon comprise flowing a glass-forming ribbon. Methods comprise flowing a first gas through the first inlet of a first diffuser at a first average inlet velocity. Methods comprise flowing the first gas from the first diffuser through a first outlet of the first diffuser at a first average outlet velocity. The first average inlet velocity is greater than the first average outer velocity.

Abstract: An apparatus for making a glass sheet including a forming apparatus, a transition member, and a heat transfer device. The forming apparatus forms a glass ribbon from a supply of molten glass. The transition member encloses the glass ribbon adjacent the forming apparatus, and defines an interior space through which the glass ribbon passes. The heat transfer device is disposed within the interior space, and comprises a tube and a fin. The tube defines an exterior surface and an interior passage. The fin projects from the exterior surface. With this construction, the heat transfer device functions to extract heat radiated by the glass ribbon while minimizing the formation of flow vortices.
