A sleeping bag or other sleeping apparatus having a rigid opening means or rigid expanded portion means for providing a rigid mechanical framework for supporting the top/upper layer of the sleeping apparatus or sleeping bag in order to extend and maintain the top/upper layer a predetermined distance away from the bottom layer of the sleeping apparatus or sleeping bag. The rigid opening or expansion portion extends for a predetermined longitudinal length into or through the sleeping apparatus/sleeping bag at any desired location. Such a rigid tunnel-like opening for disposed at the entrance of a sleeping bag would be desirable to provide a non-threatening, inviting entrance for a pet. Such a rigid tunnel-like opening, when disposed at a predetermined location any where along the longitudinal length of a sleeping bag or other sleeping apparatus would serve to prevent the sleeping bag cloth material from irritating a sensitive, injured or irritated body part or appendage of the human or pet occupant.

The LAUNDRY AREA ORGANIZER includes a bin having a front, a back, a bottom, and first and second side walls, the first side wall of the bin being juxtaposed to and abutted with a side wall of one of the clothes washer and dryer and the second side wall of the bin being juxtaposed to and abutted with a side wall of the other of the clothes washer and dryer so that the bin is disposed between and laterally supported by the clothes washer and dryer. The LAUNDRY AREA ORGANIZER also includes a cover for the bin, the cover having a top surface, the cover being manipulable to an open position for providing access to the interior of the bin and, alternatively, to a closed position for precluding access to the interior of the bin, the top surface of the cover is at about the same height as the top surfaces of the clothes washer and dryer so that the top surfaces of the cover and the clothes washer and dryer lie approximately in a plane, to provide a continuous work surface.

The invention is a method of printing a replica of the natural iris on a contact lens. The printing is done using a rubber printing member having up raised rubber radial segments having a radius of substantially the same as the contact lens. The printing ink is applied to the radial printing segments and the rubber stamp is applied to the lens. Pressure is then applied to the rubber stamp forcing the edges of the radial printing segments to move outward moving an amount of printing ink ahead of the advancing edge. The lens is rotated and the process is repeated forming a geometric pattern resembling the human iris.
