A WRITING AND PAGINATION ALLOWING A "QUICK READING"

Abstract: This invention consists of paginating and writing any text the writing lines of which present, compared to the centre line (CL) of the page itself, their right half-side lower than their left half-side, this one being higher than the spacing between leads, if compared to the considered right half-side.

Description: Description A writing and pagination allowing a "quick reading" This invention consist of setting out the lines of any text so that the eye, starrting a new reading-line, can always go back to the line lying lower then the one just read , allowin , this way , a quick-reading without mistakes and delays whatsoever. Background art The present methods of paginating and reding allowing a quick-reading are non-existent, nevertheless some methods for a quick , superficial , functional and explorative reading are now existing even though too difficult and complicated to understand and put into practice. By means of the superficial, unctional explorative reading, the above mentioned method of "quick reading" aim at the practical and handy use of a text ( mainly of the technical type ) so that it's possible to select and synthetize their contents. The mental , steadfast, creative reading is based upon the method of running a text , more or less slowly , from the beginning to the end : apart from personal ability a quick-reading method has not been set up so far. This second type of reading brings about the most common drawback: the reading slowdown meaning to go back continuously to the line just read , wasting precious time in re-reading at least two or three words going back to the just read paragraph because the human-eye whilst reading doesn't move upright along the line to be read; it always moves clockwise with a circular motion , along the letters it's actually reading . The eye circular motion is the responsible for the continuous and somehow unavoidable "return to the top line of reading " especially for texts having the least minimum space between lines .vith a consequent waste of time. In order to avoid this drawback you must perform an effort more or less consciously, losing that way your concentration and attention averagely calculated around 40-50% , depending on the different individuals. This innovative way of "quick-reading " let you retrieve the time you would lose in trying to concentrate on the following line. Disclosure of invention It consists of laying the first half of the writing line in an arc of a circle which originates at the very beginning of the line taken into consideration and terminating on the half of the same line , in correspondence to the page centre line (CL). The second half of the line running straight perpendicularly to the right end of the paper,in the traditional way. If you cosider many lines , so that you create a writing, you observe the new word line part of the top line is at the same distance , from the bottom edge of the page itself, of the very end of the right-half line of the penultimate line (see plate N.l) The purpose of this kind of reading is to allow a quick- reading especially suitable for both technical texts and all those ones involving a " steadfast and horizontal reading. Furthermore the object of this invention can also be a desirable making of software programs in order to alter the usual lay-out of lines during the text pagination , in such a way as to help " quick-reading ".

Claims: Claims 1) Method of writing by which the writing lines of text are arranged, from the left side to the right, with the new reading -line higher than the end of the same line. From the new reading-line , each line goes on ,from the left to the right, up to the half-side of the line,in an arc of a circle. From the half-side to the right end of the paper , the writing goes on in the traditional way. The heigth (h) between the beginning (A) and the end (B) of the arc of a circle , virtually included between an abscissa (X) and an ordinate (Y), must be equal to the space (Z) between a line and another , successive , of the text ,in the right half-side of the page. ( See plate n. 1) 2) Method of writing according claim n°l allowing a "quick reading " of a text in an automatic way with thrift of time , averagely calculated araund 40-50 % depending on the different individuals. 3) Method of writing of claim n° 1 helping create a program of software able to change the disposition of the lines in the layout of the texts and of the computer screen in order to set a "quick reading "according to claim n° 2 .
