Abstract: The device to secure the shoelace knot has flexible upper member and flexible lower member attached preferably using eyelet kind of part at equally spaced lateral apertures of upper member and lower member in a manner where upper member's top surface attaches to lower member's top surface so that shoelace can be inserted through apertures of upper member and a lower member to tie a knot over upper member's bottom surface. After tying regular shoelace bow knot over upper member's bottom surface, the upper member's body is folded at imaginary center axis to fasten the hook and loop ends while securing knot in bigger knot receiving aperture of upper member while lower member rests on shoe's surface providing extra support even when shoe is being used in regress sports activities and ensuring that knot remains tied.

Abstract: The device to prevent a bag with handles from collapsing inside a refuse receptacle is a band of stretchable material with plurality of hooks suspended from axis of a band and said hooks move freely along the axis of a band. The circumference of device is less than that of refuse receptacle for which it is being adapted thus it fits snuggly anywhere on the outer surface of refuse receptacle. The plastic bag with handles is secured to a refuse receptacle by inserting closed end of the bag into the refuse receptacle and folding the open end of the plastic bag over the rim of the refuse receptacle such that handles of plastic bag folded down on the side and secured by hooks to prevent plastic bag with handles from slipping over a rim and collapsing inside the refuse receptacle.
