Abstract:
1. An interface protector for protecting an interface, comprising: a housing defining an opening for exposing the interface; a retaining element mounted to the housing, the retaining element including a connecting bar, two opposite mounting boards and two retaining boards integrally formed together, each mounting board defining a shaft hole, at least one of the mounting boards defining a first stopping slot and a second stopping slot along peripheral wall of the shaft hole, the first stopping slot and the second stopping slot communicating with a corresponding shaft hole; a cover rotatably mounted to the retaining element, the cover including a main board and two sidewalls, a shaft perpendicularly extending from each sidewall, at least one shaft and sidewall having a protrusion protruding therefrom; wherein each shaft is rotatably affixed in each corresponding shaft hole, so the cover can rotate relative to the retaining element around the shafts, when the protrusion is received in the first stopping slot, the cover shields the interface; when the protrusion is slid out of the first stopping slot, until the protrusion is latched in the second stopping slot, the cover is rotated into the housing to expose the interface.
