Abstract
A safety bed rail assembly especially adapted for hospital beds including means for pivoting the rail between raised and lowered positions with respect to the bed mattress. Release means for operation by a knee of a nurse or other attendant are included to pivot the rail between said positions. The pivotal movement is limited such that the rail always pivots away from the release means to prevent pinching or trapping of the knee by the pivot mechanism.
