ABSTRACT:
A flexible flap that is secured over the entrance slot of a floppy disk drive for a computer. The flap completely covers the entrance slot when a disk is not inserted in the drive and, therefore, dust or other contaminants will be kept out of the disk drive. The flap is flexible so it will allow a floppy disk to be inserted into the drive through the flap which will then return to cover the opening and protect the drive when the disk is inserted.
