Also, if local heat generation is likely to occur as in the bent portion, the current value needs to be controlled by setting the temperature of the portion to the upper limit of the heating temperature (e.g., 70° C. to 80° C.). This is because the glass plate may crack when the glass plate is heated to a temperature higher than the upper limit of the heating temperature, and as a result, production yield may also decrease. However, if a current is controlled such that the portion where local heat generation occurs is heated at the upper limit of the heating temperature, the heating temperature of the other portion may decrease. As a result, there is an issue that the current value cannot be controlled such that the entire heating wire 8 sufficiently generates heat. In view of this, in this embodiment, the bent portion is configured as the aspects 1 to 5 such that local heat generation does not occur. This makes it possible to prevent local heat generation and to control the current value such that the entire heating wire 8 can sufficiently generate heat. As described in the following Examples, by adjusting the configuration of the bent portion, it is possible to set the difference between the temperature of the vertex portion of the bent portion and the average temperature of two portions that are located 35 mm away from the vertex portion of the bent portion to be less than 15° C., for example.
