Abstract

A one hand swing down bed rail control having a handle with a rotating portion. The rotating portion draws in the proximal ends of first and second lines that in turn draw in the distal ends of the first and second lines that in turn disengage first and second catches between a frame of the bed rail apparatus and a pair of legs of the bed rail apparatus, where a bed rail of the bed rail apparatus is positioned adjacent to a side of a bed and the legs of the bed rail apparatus extend between a mattress and a mattress support. Once the first and second catches are disengaged, the bed rail may swing down.
