Abstract: The present invention relates to production of a flat glass, which can improve the surface smoothness of a flat glass in the moving direction and which prevents formation of stripes on the flat glass. A fixed bed 15 comprising a plurality of supports 12 arranged in such a state that they will not move at least in a direction in parallel with the moving direction of a glass ribbon 13, and having grooves 12B to let loose the steam generated by vaporization of a steam film forming agent formed between the respective supports 12, is used, and the amount of the steam let loose from the grooves is adjusted in accordance with the glass temperature distribution in the moving direction of the glass ribbon 13 which moves on the fixed bed 15.

Abstract: A forming method of a glass product includes the steps of successively setting female press-molds on a gob feeding stage; feeding gob to the female press-molds at the gob feeding stage at predetermined intervals; successively transferring the female press-molds fed with the gob to a press-forming stage; press-forming the gob into a glass product at the press-forming stage; and removing the press-formed glass product at a product removing stage.
