Patent ID: 8414314

Claim:
A single-use Universal Serial Bus port protector, comprising: a) a top piece, comprising: i) a rectangular surface, having a user-definable length along an x-axis, having a user-definable width along a z-axis, having a user-definable height along a y-axis, having a top, having a bottom, having a back, and having a blind mortise of a user-definable length in the back of and along the length of the rectangular surface; ii) a rectangular planar surface, having a top, having a front, having a back, having a length equal to the length of the rectangular surface, where the front of the rectangular planar surface abuts the back of the rectangular surface, having a mortise in the back of the rectangular planar surface in alignment with and of the same length as the blind mortise in the rectangular surface, and having a blind mortise in the back of the rectangular planar surface that is proximal to the top of the rectangular planar surface that is not in alignment with but has the same length as the blind mortise in the rectangular surface; iii) a slotted planar surface of a user-definable height, having a bottom and a top, having a first mortise, having a second mortise, where the bottom of the slotted planar surface abuts the back of the rectangular planar surface so that the blind mortise in the rectangular planar surface is enclosed within the first mortise, and where the mortise in the rectangular planar surface is enclosed within the second mortise; and iv) at least one lever breakably attached to the top of the slotted planar surface; and b) a tongued planar surface, having a top and a bottom, having a tongued portion and an untongued portion, where the tongued portion extends from the top of the tongued planar surface and has the same width as the mortise in the rectangular planar surface, where the un-tongued portion has a user-definably greater width and height than the tongued portion, having at least one rail on the top of the tongued planar surface that is engagable by the at least one lever of the top piece and that traverses the tongued portion of the tongued planar surface and encroaches a user-definable distance onto the untongued portion of the tongued planar surface, having two projections extending from the bottom of the untongued portion of the tongued planar surface, where the two projections are proximal to the tongued portion of the tongued planar surface, where the top piece and the tongued planar surface are slideably insertable into but not extractable from a Universal Serial Bus port without breaking the at least one lever of the top piece to ensure that no electrical connection is made to the Universal Serial Bus port when the top piece and the tongued planar surface are so inserted.
