Device for withdrawing and winding thread

The invention relates to a device for withdrawing and winding a plurality of threads in a melt spinning process. The device comprises a godet carrier (5) for receiving at least two godets (6) having driven godet housings (6.1), a frame (3) for receiving a plurality of winding stations (1.1-1.5) arranged dispersedly along a drivable winding spindle (14), and a thread laying device (4). According to the invention, the thread laying device (4) has a movable thread guide (17) on each winding station (1.1-1.5), which can be guided back and forth between a joining position and a working position in order to distribute the thread between the winding stations (1.1-1.5). In order to enable the thread to be arranged on the godet roller (6) without any action on the operator side, the thread arranging device (4) according to the invention has a rotatable joining roller (8) in the region of the godet roller (6), which joining roller can be guided between a joining position and a working position for joining the thread on
