Summary:An apparatus and a method for manufacturing a plate glass. The apparatus (10) comprises a float molding bathtub (14) for accumulating a molten tin (16) and molding the band-like plate glass of a specified thickness by advancing a molten glass ribbon (20) in a specified direction on the molten tin (16) and a pair of partition walls (46) installed roughly along the edge (22) of the molten glass ribbon (20) over the edge (22) and partitioning an upper space (A) in the area of the molten metal surface of the molten tin (16) covered by the molten glass ribbon (20) from an upper space (B) in the area thereof not covered thereby. The partition walls (46) are formed in a vertically divided structure comprising the upper partition wall (46A) and the lower partition wall (46B), and the lower partition wall (46B) is formed by arranging strip-like lower strip members (58) continuously with each other in the lateral direction and the lower strip members (58) are formed detachable and openable from the upper partition wall (46A).
