Hello BORSCCLAUS!
An aglet (or aiglet) is a small plastic or metal sheath typically used on each end of a shoelace, cord, or drawstring. An aglet keeps the fibers of the lace or cord from unraveling; its firmness and narrow profile make it easier to hold and easier to feed through the eyelets, lugs, or other lacing guides.

Thank you for posting your question on akaQA.
Have a glorious day.

No... don't say that! Think of them as 'Calculators with Flair'!
(Oh my goodness! I am getting on in age!)
My father worked in a University when I was growing up. He worked with computers and was involved in Cancer Research. The computers where gigantic and made loads of noise. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would have an iPhone with the world at my fingertips...... Go figure! Spinny chairs with wheels were so much fun back then and the corridors of a University research building are very very long.
