Abstract: The development of cracks or breakage in a glass material during production of the glass material by a containerless levitation technique is reduced. A glass material is obtained by heating a levitated block 12 of glass raw material to melting by irradiation of the block 12 of glass raw material with laser light to thus obtain a molten glass and then cooling the molten glass. A first irradiation step and a second irradiation step are performed. In the first irradiation step, the levitated block 12 of glass raw material is heated to melting by irradiating the block 12 of glass raw material with the laser light. In the second irradiation step, an intensity of the laser light being applied to the molten glass is reduced and irradiation with the laser light is then stopped.

Abstract: A bush is disposed on an inner wall of a fixed core. A second spring, which biases a movable core in a valve-closing direction, has one end abutting the bush. The bush is formed separately from the fixed core, and is formed to be movable relative to the fixed core when adjusting a biasing force of the second spring. When a needle is abutting a valve seat, a gap is formed between a movable core first abutting face of the movable core and a flange end face of a flange portion included in the needle. Accordingly, during valve-opening, a relatively large force in a valve-opening direction is applied to the needle. Further, by changing the position of the bush relative to the movable core, the biasing force of the second spring may be adjusted without changing a length of the gap in a central axis direction.
