Magnetic safety gate latch

A system comprising:

• a top assembly comprising:
• a pool latch tube that includes a top insert to couple and stabilize the pool latch tube to a tube cover;
• a pool latch lid configured above the pool latch tube, wherein the pool latch lid is part of a lift mechanism, and wherein the pool latch lid is rotationally coupled to the tube cover;
• a hinge base configured underneath the pool latch lid, wherein the hinge base is coupled to the pool latch lid and a top end of twist drive shaft, wherein the twist drive shaft is spring loaded to a resting position;
• a bottom assembly configured below the top assembly, the bottom assembly comprising:
• a bottom cover that faces a housing formed from a base cover and a latch cover;
• a spring-loaded latch pin is configured within the housing, wherein the spring-loaded latch pin is aligned with one or more aperatures in the housing;
• and
• one or more latch grooves positioned in the bottom cover and configured to permit the spring-loaded latch pin to partially pass through an opening of the one or more latch grooves.

A method comprising:

• lifting a pool latch lid to produce a linear motion;
• transforming the produced linear motion into a rotational motion by a twist drive;
• applying the rotational motion between a magnet and a latch pin, wherein the rotational motion is applied to break a magnetic attraction between the magnet and latch pin;
• and
• retracting the latch pin after the magnetic attraction between the magnet and latch pin is removed.
