At this time, when the lever 14 is pushed inward, the pusher 12 is also pushed inward and compressed by the spring 11.

Next, when the lighting bracket 21 is positioned upwardly by completely riding the lever 14, the lever 14 is pulled out again to its original state by the restoring force of the spring 11 and the pushing force of the pusher 12. It returns to its original state, and at the same time, the lever 14 is caught on the lighting bracket 21 of the lighting fixture 22, and eventually the lighting fixture 22 is supported by the lever 14 and fixed to the ceiling.

Meanwhile, when the lighting fixture 22 is pulled down when the lighting fixture 22 is separated, the lighting fixture bracket 21 applies downward force to the tip of the lever 14 of the lock/unlock device 15.

Next, the lever 14 receiving this force is tilted downward while rotating around the pin 13, and at the same time, the lock between the lever 14 and the lighting bracket 21 is released, including the lighting bracket 21. The entire lighting fixture 22 can be easily removed from the ceiling.

At this time, when the lever 14 is tilted, the pusher 12 is also pushed inward and compressed by the spring 11.

In this state in which the lighting device 22 is separated, the lever 14 is returned to its original drawn state by the restoring force of the spring 11 and the pushing force of the pusher 12.

Of course, if the lever 14 does not return naturally, the lever 14 can be returned to its original drawn state when the worker slightly pulls or hits the lever 14.

In this way, the present invention provides a one-touch lock/unlock device that allows flexible storage and withdrawal operations when installing or removing a lighting fixture on the ceiling, and is also capable of a tilting and rotating operation, thereby facilitating the installation of lighting fixtures as well as replacement and repair. Workability can be improved.
