ABSTRACT:
A locking and release mechanism for use in connection with retractable drop lights is disclosed including a spring loaded reel mounted for rotational movement so that a conductor for the drop light can be reeled and unreeled therefrom. The mechanism includes a ratchet rotatable with the reel, a pawl pivotably mounted adjacent to the ratchet so that the pawl can be rotated between positions engaging the ratchet and disengaging the ratchet, thus permitting the spring loaded reel to rewind the conductor, a solenoid for pivoting the pawl between those two positions, and a switch located in proximity to the drop light itself for connection to the solenoid through the conductor so that the solenoid can be selectively activated from that switch location.
