Abstract:
1. An apparatus for spinning a plurality of multifilament yarns and winding the same into respective yarn packages, comprising a melt spinning device including a plurality of spinnerets for melt spinning a plurality of multifilament yarns in a downwardly extending side by side arrangement which defines a substantially vertical spinning plane, a takeup device for winding the advancing yarns onto respective bobbin tubes which are coaxially mounted at respective winding positions on a common longitudinally extending winding spindle which defines a longitudinal axis, a withdrawal godet mounted for rotation about a withdrawal axis and disposed below the spinning device for withdrawing the yarns from the spinnerets and advancing the same along a substantially horizontal distribution plane to the takeup device, wherein the substantially vertical spinning plane, and the withdrawal axis of the godet, are arranged in a transverse relationship with the longitudinal axis of the winding spindle, and wherein the apparatus further comprises a plurality of distributor rolls arranged above respective ones of the winding positions on the winding spindle for guiding the yarns from the withdrawal godet and along the distribution plane, and then downwardly to respective winding positions.
