A bed rail having a guard frame that prevents a child from rolling off a bed and a pair of legs that extend between the mattress and box spring. The guard frame swings between up and down positions and is pivotally connected to the legs via a first junction. A second junction locks the guard frame to the legs. The second junction includes a rotatable seat that engages a pin extending from the guard frame. The bed rail further includes a strap that engages a proximal end of a leg, a distal end of the leg, and an anchor, which engages the side of the bed opposite of the bed rail.

A latching apparatus and method for latching two separable apparatuses. The latching apparatus includes a moveable actuator and a bolt. The moveable actuator has a bolt facing north-pole magnet and bolt facing a south-pole magnet attached thereto. The bolt moves in response to the north-pole magnet and the south-pole magnet when the bolt is adjacent the actuator.

The crib bed (1) has a crib sidewall (5) secured to the crib bed leg construction (7) by means of a latching system (6). A latching bar (13is spring-loaded by means of a latch bar spring (14) for engagement of the latching pin (16) with a stationary guide member (19). The latching pin (16) is retractable into the latching bar (13) against the load of a spring (17) arranged in the latching bar by displacement of the latching pin along a sloped surface (22) of the stationary guide member (19). The latching pin (16) is secured to the latching bar (13) with a linkage pin (15) extending through a slot (18) of the latching pin and extending through a hole in the latching bar. The linkage pin (15) is guided in a guide rail (12) in the latch housing (11) for retraction of the secured latching pin.
