As the firing member is advanced distally, the first meat and the second meat can control the distance, or fabric span, between the staple cartridge platform and the anvil. The firing member also comprises a knife configured to make an incision in the tissue captured between the anvil and the staple cartridge. It is desirable for the knife to be positioned at least partially proximal to the inclined surfaces, so that the clamps are ejected in front of the knife. [0098] Figure 1 represents a shape of a tool set. Petition 870190067600, from 07/17/2019, p. 83/196 42/146 interchangeable surgical tools 1000 which is operationally coupled to a motor-driven handle set 500. Tool set 1000 can also be used effectively with a tool drive set from a robotically controlled or automated surgical system. For example, the surgical tool sets disclosed herein can be used with various robotic systems, instruments, components and methods such as, but not limited to, those disclosed in US Patent No. 9,072,535, entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENTS WITH ROTATABLE STAPLE DEPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS , hereby incorporated by reference, in its entirety. The handle set 500, as well as the tool drive set of a robotic system can also be referred to in the present invention as control systems or control units. [0099] Figure 2 illustrates the attachment of the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 to the handle set 500. The handle set 500 may comprise a handle compartment 502 that includes a pistol grip portion 504 that can be handled and handled by doctor. The handle assembly 500 may also include a frame 506 that operationally supports the plurality of drive systems. For example, frame 506 can operationally support a first or closing drive system, generally referred to as 510, which can be used to apply closing and opening movements to the set of interchangeable surgical tools 1000 that is attached or attached operationally to the handle assembly 500. In at least one form, the closing drive system 510 may include an actuator in the form of a closing trigger 512, pivotally supported by the frame 506. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 84/196 43/146 This arrangement allows the closing trigger 512 to be manipulated by a physician, so that when the physician grips the pistol grip portion 504 of the grip assembly 500, the closing trigger 512 can easily be pivoted from a starting position or not actuated to an acted position and, more particularly, to a fully compressed or fully acted position. In several ways, the closing drive system 510 additionally includes a closing hinge assembly 514, which is pivotally coupled to the closing trigger 512 or otherwise operationally interfacing with it. As will be discussed in more detail below, in the illustrated example, the closing hinge assembly 514 includes a transverse fixing pin 516 that facilitates attachment to a corresponding drive system in the surgical tool set. In use, to activate the closing drive system 510, the physician presses the closing trigger 512 towards the pistol grip portion 504. As described in more detail in US Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 226,142, entitled SURGICAL INSTRUMENT COMPRISING A SENSOR SYSTEM, now publication of US Patent Application Serial No. 2015/0272575, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, when the physician presses the 512 closing trigger fully to achieve a complete closing stroke, the system closing actuator 510 is configured to lock the closing trigger 512 to the fully actuated or fully depressed position. When the clinician wishes to unlock the closing trigger 512 to allow it to be forced into the unacted position, he simply activates a set of closing release button 518 that allows the closing trigger 512 to return to the unacted position. The 518 lock release button set can also be configured to interact Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 85/196 44/146 with several sensors that communicate with a microcontroller 520 in the handle assembly 500 to track the position of the closing trigger 512. Additional details on the configuration and operation of the closing release button assembly 518 can be found in the publication of US Patent Application No. 2015/0272575. [0100] In at least one shape, the handle assembly 500 and the frame 506 can operationally support another drive system, called, in the present invention, a trigger drive system 530, which is configured to apply trigger movements corresponding portions of the set of interchangeable surgical tools that are attached to it. As described in detail in US Patent Application Publication No. 0272575, the firing drive system 530 may employ an electric motor 505 which is located in the pistol grip portion 504 of the grip assembly 500. In various forms, the motor 505 can be a brushless DC drive motor with a maximum speed of approximately 25,000 RPM, for example. In other arrangements, the 505 motor may include a brushless motor, a wireless motor, a synchronous motor, a stepper motor or any other suitable type of electric motor. The motor 505 can be powered by a power source 522 which, in one form, can comprise a removable battery. The battery can hold a plurality of lithium ions (LI) or other suitable batteries in it. Several batteries that can be connected in series and can be used as the power source 522 for the grip handle 500. In addition, the power source 522 can be replaceable and / or rechargeable. [0101] The electric motor 505 is configured to axially drive a longitudinally movable driving member 540 in the distal and proximal directions depending on the polarity of the motor. For example, when the 505 motor is started in a rotating direction, the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 86/196 45/146 longitudinally movable drive 540 will be axially driven in the distal direction DD. When the motor 505 is driven in the opposite rotating direction, the longitudinally movable driving member 540 will be driven axially in a proximal direction PD. The handle set 500 can include a switch 513 that can be configured to reverse the polarity applied to the electric motor 505 by power source 522 or otherwise control the motor 505. The handle set 500 can also include a sensor or sensors ( not shown) that is configured to detect the position of the driving member 540 and / or the direction in which the driving member 540 is being moved. The activation of motor 505 can be controlled by a trigger trigger 532 supported pivotally on the handle assembly 500. The trigger trigger 532 can be pivoted between an unacted position and an acted position. The trigger trigger 532 can be forced into the position not actuated by a spring (not shown) or other disposition of propensity, so that when the doctor releases the trigger trigger 532, it can be pivoted, or otherwise, returned to the position not actuated by the spring or the propensity arrangement. In at least one way, the trigger trigger 532 can be positioned away from the closing trigger 512, as discussed above. As discussed in US Patent Application publication 2015/0272575, the grip handle 500 can be equipped with a trigger trigger safety button (not shown) to prevent inadvertent trigger trigger 532. When the trigger closing button 512 is in the unacted position, the safety button is contained in the handle assembly 500, where the doctor cannot readily access it and move it between a safety position that prevents the trigger trigger 532 from operating, and a firing position in which trigger trigger 532 can be fired. When the doctor presses the 512 closing trigger, the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 87/196 46/146 safety button and trigger trigger 532 can pivot downwards to a position where they can then be manipulated by the doctor. [0102] In at least one form, the longitudinally movable drive member 540 may have a toothed rack (not shown) formed thereon for engagement with a corresponding drive gear arrangement (not shown) that interfaces with the motor 505. Additional details regarding these features can be found in US Patent Application Publication 2015/0272575. At least one form also includes a manually actuated rescue set, which is configured to allow the physician to manually retract the longitudinally movable drive member 540, in case the engine 505 stops running. The rescue set may include a rescue lever or handle assembly that is stored inside the handle assembly 500 under a releasable door 550. The lever is configured to be manually pivoted in ratchet engagement with the teeth on the drive member 540 This way, the physician can manually retract drive member 540 using the rescue handle assembly to ratchet drive member 540 in the proximal direction PD. US Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 249,117, entitled POWERED SURGICAL CUTTING AND STAPLING APPARATUS WITH MANUALLY RETRACTABLE FIRING SYSTEM, now publication of US Patent Application No. 2010/0089970, the description of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses provisions of rescue and other components, arrangements and systems that can also be employed with the 1000 toolkit. [0103] Now with reference to Figures 4, 5 and 6, the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 includes a drive shaft assembly portion 1300 that is operationally attached to a Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 88/196 47/146 elongated drive shaft assembly 1400.

[0104] As can be seen in Figures 5 and 6, the drive shaft mounting portion 1300 includes a proximal housing or nozzle 1301 comprised of nozzle portions 1302, 1304, as well as an actuator wheel portion 1306 that is configured to be coupled Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 89/196 48/146 to the nozzle portions assembled 1302, 1304 by locks, projections, screws etc. In the illustrated embodiment, the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 additionally includes a closure set 1406 that can be used to close and / or open anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 of end actuator 1100, as will be discussed in more detail below. In addition, the illustrated interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 includes a back assembly 1500 that operationally supports hinge lock 1210. The back assembly 1500 is configured to first slide a firing member assembly 1600 in its interior and, secondly, to slide the closing assembly 1406 which extends around the back assembly 1500 or which is otherwise supported in a movable manner. [0105] In the illustrated arrangement, the surgical end actuator 1100 is operationally coupled to the elongated drive shaft assembly 1400 by an articulated joint 1200 that facilitates the selective articulation of the surgical end actuator 1100 around a geometric axis of BB that is transverse to the geometric axis of the drive shaft SA. See Figure 3. As can be seen in Figure 4, the back assembly 1500 slidably supports a proximal articulation actuator 1700 that interfaces operationally with a joint lock 1210. The joint lock 1210 is supported on a frame segment distal 1560 which also comprises a portion of the back assembly 1500. As can be seen in Figure 4, the distal structure segment 1560 is pivotally coupled to the elongated channel 1102 by an end actuator assembly set 1230. In one arrangement , for example, a distal end 1562 of the distal structure segment 1560 has a pivot pin 1564 formed therein. The hinge pin 1564 is adapted to be pivotally received inside a hole Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 90/196 49/146 of pivot pivot 1234 formed on a pivot base portion 1232 of an end actuator mounting assembly 1230. The end actuator mounting assembly 1230 is pivotally fixed to a proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102 by a pair of laterally extending clamping pins 1235 which are swiveled into the clamping pivot holes 1104 that are provided at the proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102. Clamping pins 1235 define a claw pivot axis JA which is substantially transversal to the geometric axis of the drive axis SA. See Figure 3. The pivot pivot pin 1564 defines a geometric axis B-B of articulation that is transversal to the geometric axis of drive axis SA. This arrangement facilitates the pivoting displacement (i.e., the articulation) of the end actuator 1100 around the geometric axis B-B of articulation in relation to the back assembly 1500. [0106] Referring now to Figure 4, in the illustrated embodiment, the hinge actuator 1700 has a distal end 1702 that is configured to operationally engage the hinge lock 1210. The hinge lock 1210 includes a hinge structure 1212 which is pivotally coupled to a pivot link 1214 which is adapted to operationally engage a pivot drive pin 1236 over the pivot base portion 1232 of the end actuator mounting assembly 1230. As noted above, additional details related to operation of hinge lock 1210 and hinge structure 1212 can be found in US Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 803,086, US Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0263541. More details on the end actuator assembly and pivot link 1214 can be found in US Patent Application Serial No. 15 / 019,245, filed February 9, 2016, entitled SURGICAL Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 91/196 50/146 INSTRUMENTS WITH CLOSURE STROKE REDUCTION ARRANGEMENTS, the description of which is incorporated herein by reference in the present invention. [0107] In various circumstances, the back assembly 1500 additionally includes a proximal back channel 1510 that can be manufactured from pressed, folded or machined material. As can be seen in Figure 6, the proximal back channel 1510 is essentially C-shaped (when viewed from a distal end) and is configured to operationally support the firing member assembly 1600 between the side wall portions 1512 the same. As can be seen in Figures 6 and 7, the back assembly 1500 additionally comprises a proximal back assembly segment 1530 which is pivotally pinned to a distal end 1514 of the proximal back channel 1510 by a back pin 1550 The proximal back assembly segment 1530 comprises a proximal end portion 1532 that has opposite notches 1535 (only one of which can be seen in Figure 7) to receive a corresponding mounting protrusion 1308 (shown in Figure 5) that protrudes into inside from each of the nozzle portions 1302, 1304. This arrangement facilitates the rotation of the proximal back mounting segment 1530 around the drive axis SA axis by rotating the nozzle 1301 around the drive axis geometry axis SA drive. In the illustrated arrangement, the proximal back assembly segment 1530 additionally comprises a segment of the lower drive shaft that extends distally 1534 and a segment of the upper drive shaft that extends distally 1536 and that is spaced from the axis segment of lower drive 1534. See Figure 7. Each of the drive shaft segments 1534, 1536 has an arcuate cross-sectional shape. The mon Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 92/196 51/146 lower drive shaft 1534 is received within the proximal end 1514 of the proximal back channel 1510.0 back pin 1550 extends through a pivot hole 1516 at the proximal end of the proximal back channel 1510 and a pivot hole 1538 in the lower drive shaft segment 1534. The back pin 1550 includes a vertical groove 1552 that forms two vertical side wall portions 1554. The upper ends of the side wall portions 1554 are received inside corresponding pockets 1539 that are formed in the 1530 proximal back assembly segment. [0108] The interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 includes a chassis 1800 that pivotally supports the drive shaft assembly 1400. The proximal end portion 1532 of the proximal back mounting segment is pivotally supported in the central drive shaft hole that is formed on chassis 1800. See Figure 6. In an arrangement, for example, the proximal end portion 1532 can be threaded for attachment to a back bearing (not shown) or otherwise supported on a hob! back that is mounted on chassis 1800. This arrangement facilitates the swiveling attachment of the back assembly 1500 to the chassis 1800, so that the back assembly 1500 can be selectively rotated around a geometric axis of the drive axis SA in relation to the chassis 1800. [0109] The closing assembly 1406 comprises an elongated intermediate closing member 1410, a distal closing member 1430 and a proximal closing member 1480. In the illustrated arrangement, the proximal closing member 1480 comprises a hollow tubular member that it is slidably supported on a portion of the back assembly 1500. Therefore, the proximal closing member 1480 can also be referred to here as the proximal closing tube. Similarly, the intermediate closing member 1410 can also be referred to here as the intermediate closing tube and Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 93/196 52/146 the distal closing member 1430 can also be called a distal closing tube. Referring mainly to Figure 6, the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 includes a movable closing member 1420 that is slidably supported within the chassis 1800, so that it can be moved axially with respect to it. In one form, the closing movable member 1420 includes a pair of proximally projecting hooks 1421 that are configured for attachment to the retaining pin 516 (Figure 2) which is attached to the closing hinge assembly 514 of the handle assembly 500. In this way, when the hooks 1421 are hooked on the pin 516, the actuation of the closing trigger 512 will result in the axial movement of the moving member of the closing movable member 1420 and finally, the closing set 1406 in the back set 1500. One closing spring (not shown) can also be seated on the closing assembly 1406 and serves to force the closing member assembly 1406 in the proximal direction PD, which can serve to pivot the closing trigger 512 to the unacted position when the tool set 1000 is operationally coupled to handle set 500. In use, locking member set 1406 is translated distally (direction DD) to close the anvil 1130, for example, in response to the actuation of the closing trigger 512. [0110] The closing joint 514 can also be called here the closing actuator and the closing joint 514 and the closing movable member 1420 can be collectively called the closing actuator set here. A proximal end 1482 of the proximal closing tube 1480 is coupled to the closing movable member 1420 for relative rotation thereto. For example, a U-shaped connector 1485 is inserted into an annular slot 1484 at the proximal end 1482 of the proximal closing member 1480 Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 94/196 53/146 and is retained within the vertical slits 1422 in the closing movable member 1420. See Figure 6. This arrangement serves to secure the proximal closing member 1480 to the closing movable member 1420 for axial displacement with the same, at the same time. that the closing member 260 is allowed to rotate with respect to the closing movable member 1420 around the drive shaft geometric axis SA. [0111] As indicated above, the illustrated interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 includes an articulated joint 1200. As can be seen in Figure 4, the upper and lower nipples 1415, 1416 protrude distally from a distal end of the closing member intermediate 1410 to be movably coupled to the distal closing member 1430. As can be seen in Figure 4, the distal closing member 1430 includes upper and lower spikes 1434, 1436 projecting proximally from a proximal end thereof. The intermediate closing member 1410 and the distal closing member 1430 are coupled together by an upper double pivot link 1220. The upper double pivot link 1220 includes proximal and distal pins that engage corresponding holes in the upper spikes 1415, 1434 of the proximal closure 1410 and distal closing member 1430, respectively. The intermediate closing member 1410 and the distal closing member 1430 are also coupled together by a lower double pivot link 1222. The lower double pivot link 1222 includes proximal and distal pins that engage corresponding holes in the lower spikes 1416 and 1436 of the member intermediate closure 1410 and distal closing member 1430, respectively. As will be discussed in more detail below, the distal and proximal axial translation of the closing assembly 1406 will result in the closing and opening of the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 95/196 54/146 [0112] As mentioned above, the set of interchangeable surgical tools 1000 additionally includes a set of firing member 1600 which is supported to perform an axial displacement within the back set 1500. In the illustrated embodiment, the set of member firing 1600 includes a proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602, an intermediate firing drive shaft segment 1610, and a distal cutting portion or distal firing bar 1620. The firing member assembly 1600 can also be called on present invention of a second drive shaft and / or a second drive shaft assembly. As can be seen in Figure 6, the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 can be formed with a distal mounting protrusion 1604 that is configured to be received with a corresponding support or groove 1613 at the proximal end 1612 of the shaft axis segment. intermediate firing drive 1610. A proximal fixation protrusion 1606 projects proximally from a proximal end of the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 and is configured to be operationally received within the firing drive fixing bracket 542 on the longitudinally movable drive member 540 which is supported on the handle assembly 500. See Figure 2. [0113] Again with reference to Figure 6, a distal end 1616 of the intermediate firing drive shaft segment 1610 includes a longitudinal slot 1618 which is configured to receive a flap (not shown) at the proximal end of distal firing bar 1620. The longitudinal slot 1618 and the proximal end of the distal firing bar 1620 can be sized and configured to allow relative movement between them, and may comprise a sliding joint 1622. The sliding joint 1622 may allow the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 96/196 55/146 proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 and intermediate firing drive shaft segment 1610 of firing member assembly 1600 move as a unit during the pivot action without moving, or at least substantially moving, the distal firing bar 1620. Once the end actuator 1100 has been properly oriented, the proximal firing spindle segment 1602 and the intermediate firing spindle segment 1610 can be advanced distally to a proximal end wall of the longitudinal slot 1618 contact the tab on the distal firing bar 1620 in order to advance the distal firing bar 1620 and fire the staple cartridge 1110 which is positioned inside the elongated channel 1102. As can be seen in Figure 6, to facilitate assembly, the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602, the firing drive shaft segment intermediate 1610 and distal firing bar 1620 can be inserted as a unit in the proximal back channel 1510 and an upper back cover 1527 can be engaged with proximal back channel 1510 to enclose these portions of the firing member assembly 1600 in its interior. [0114] In addition to the above, the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 includes a 1640 clutch set that can be configured to selectively and releasably couple the hinge actuator 1700 to the trigger member set 1600. In one form, the clutch assembly 1640 includes a rotating latch assembly which in at least one embodiment comprises a locking collar, or latch sleeve 1650 that is positioned around the trigger member 1600 assembly. Latch sleeve 1650 is configured to be rotated between an engaged position in which the locking sleeve 1650 couples the articulation actuator 1700 to the dis- Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 97/196 56/146 paro 1600 and a disengaged position in which the hinge actuator 1700 is not operationally coupled to the trigger member 1600. When the lock sleeve 1650 is in its engaged position, the distal movement of the trigger member 1600 it can move the hinge actuator 1700 distally, and correspondingly, the proximal movement of the firing member assembly 1600 can move the hinge actuator 1700 proximally. When the locking sleeve 1650 is in its disengaged position, movement of the firing member assembly 1600 is not transmitted to the hinge driver 1700, and as a result, the firing member assembly 1600 can move independently of the firing member. hinge 1700. In various circumstances, the proximal hinge driver 1700 can be held in position by hinge lock 1210 when hinge driver 1700 is not being moved in the proximal or distal directions by the firing member assembly 1600. [0115] Referring mainly to Figures 8 and 9, the locking sleeve 1650 comprises a cylindrical body, or at least substantially cylindrical, including a longitudinal opening 1652 defined therein, configured to receive the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602 of the firing member assembly 1600. The locking sleeve 1650 also has two locking protrusions 1654 diametrically opposite and facing inwardly formed therein. Only one locking protrusion 1654 can be seen in Figures 8 and 9. The locking protrusions 1654 can be configured to be selectively engaged with the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 of the firing member assembly 1600. More particularly, when the lock sleeve 1650 is in its engaged position (Figure 8), the lock protrusions 1654 are positioned inside a drive notch 1603 which is provided in the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 98/196 57/146 proximal firing drive axis 1602, so that a distal pushing force and / or a proximal pulling force can be transmitted from the firing member assembly 1600 to the locking sleeve 1650. As can be seen in the Figures 8 and 9, a hinge drive notch 1655 is provided on a distal end portion of the lock sleeve 1650 for attachment to a proximal end 1704 of the proximal hinge driver 1700. In the illustrated arrangement, for example, the proximal end 1704 includes a driver notch 1706 that is configured to engage drive notch 1655 with locking sleeve 1650. This fixing arrangement allows locking sleeve 1650 to be rotated relative to the proximal pivoting driver 1700 while remaining attached to it. When the locking sleeve 1650 is in an articulation or orientation mode (Figure 8), a distal pushing force and / or a proximal pulling force that is applied to the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 is also transmitted to the locking sleeve 1650 and for the proximal articulation trigger 1700 that is coupled to it. In effect, the firing member assembly 1600, the locking sleeve 1650 and the proximal pivoting actuator 1700 will move together when the locking sleeve 1650 is in pivot mode. On the other hand, when the locking sleeve 1650 is in its firing mode (Figure 9), the locking projections 1654 will not be positioned within the drive notch 1603 on the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 of the limb assembly. firing 1600. When in this position, a distal pushing force and / or a proximal pulling force applied to the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 is not transmitted to the lock sleeve 1650 and to the proximal articulation driver 1700. In these circumstances, the firing member assembly 1600 can move proximally and / or distally from the lock sleeve 1650 and the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 99/196 58/146 proximal articulation trigger 1700. [0116] The illustrated clutch assembly 1640 additionally includes a switching cylinder 1660 that interfaces with the locking sleeve 1650. The switching cylinder 1660 comprises a hollow drive shaft segment that interfaces operationally with a displacement plate assembly 1680 which is supported by it. The displacement plate assembly 1680 comprises a body portion 1681 that has a displacement pin 1682 that projects laterally from it. The displacement pin 1682 extends into a displacement pin slot 1662 which is provided through a displacement drum wall portion 1660. The body portion 1681 of the displacement plate assembly 1680 has a sliding slot 1683 formed it is sized and configured to interface with a sliding protrusion 1656 that protrudes from a proximal end of the sliding lock 1650. The switch cylinder 1660 can additionally include openings 1664 that allow mounting protrusions 1308 that extend from the nozzle halves 1302, 1304 extend through them to be received by seating inside the corresponding notches 1535 on the proximal back assembly segment 1530. See Figure 5. This arrangement facilitates the rotation of the drive shaft assembly 1400 in the axis of the drive shaft SA by rotating the nozzle 1301. [0117] Also in the illustrated embodiment, the switching cylinder 1660 includes a magnet support arm 1665 that supports a hinge magnet 1708 and a firing gear 1611 in it. The hinge magnet 1708 and the trigger magnet 1611 are configured to interface operationally with a Hall effect sensor 1632 that interfaces with a slip ring assembly 1630 that is operationally mounted to the 1800 chassis. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 100/196 59/146 slip ring 1630 is configured to conduct electrical energy to and from the Interchangeable Surgical Drive Shaft Assembly 1000 and / or to communicate signals to the 1000 and / or Interchangeable Drive Shaft Assembly components from it back to the microcontroller 520 in the grip set 500 (Figure 2) or to the robotic system controller, for example. More details on the 1630 slip ring assembly and associated connectors can be found in US Patent No. 9,045,203 and in US Patent Application Serial No. 15 / 019,196, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its respective totalities. as well as in US Patent Application Serial No. US 13 / 800,067, entitled STAPLE CARTRIDGE TISSUE THICKNESS SENSOR SYSTEM, now publication of US Patent Application Serial No. 2014/0263552, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The hinge magnet 1708 and the trigger magnet 1611 cooperate with the Hall Effect sensor 1632 or other sensor arrangement to detect the rotating position of the switch cylinder 1660 and transmit this information to the microcontroller 520 which can serve to provide an indication or indications to the user about the various ways discussed in the aforementioned incorporated references. Other sensor arrangements can also be employed. [0118] In various circumstances, the handle set 500 can be used to control a variety of different interchangeable surgical tool sets that are configured to perform various surgical procedures. As briefly mentioned above, the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 can also be used effectively in connection with robotic systems and automated surgical systems, each of which may be referred to here as control systems or control units. Those Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 101/196 60/146 control systems or control units can operationally support trigger systems and closing systems that are configured by actuation to move a trigger actuation component or trigger actuator (in the case of the trigger system) and an actuation component closing actuator or closing actuator (in the case of the closing system) at a corresponding axial distance to apply control movements to the corresponding components within the interchangeable tool set. In one arrangement, when a closing system in the handle assembly (or robotic system) is fully actuated, a closing actuator can move axially from an unacted position to its fully acted position. The axial closing distance by which the closing component moves from its unactivated position to its fully acted position can here be called its closing stroke length or a first closing distance. Similarly, when a firing system in the handle assembly or robotic system is fully actuated, one of the components of the firing system can move axially from its unacted position to its fully acted or fired position. The axial distance by which the firing member component moves between its unactivated position and its fully triggered position can here be called its firing stroke length or first firing distance. For surgical tool sets employing articulating tip actuator arrangements, the handle set or robotic system can employ components of the joint control that move axially across a length of the joint drive stroke or a first joint distance. In many circumstances, the length of the closing stroke, the length of the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 102/196 61/146 firing stroke and articulation firing stroke length are fixed for a given handle set or robotic system. Thus, each of the sets of interchangeable surgical tools that are configured for use in connection with these units or control systems must be able to accommodate the movements of the closing, firing and / or articulation components / actuators through each of their full stroke lengths without imposing undue stress on surgical tool components, which could cause damage or catastrophic failure of the surgical tool set. Examples of surgical tool sets that have provisions for reducing the axial closing stroke of an actuator system are revealed in US Patent Application Serial No. 15 / 019,245, filed February 9, 2016, entitled SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CLOSURE STROKE REDUCTION ARRANGEMENTS , the description of which is hereby incorporated by reference. US Patent Application Serial No. 2016/0174977, entitled SURGICAL INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS COMPRISING AN ARTICULATABLE END EFFECTOR AND MEANS FOR ADJUSTING THE FIRING STROKE OF A FIRING MEMBER reveals provisions for adjusting the firing stroke of a firing member. [0119] Depending on the claw arrangement of the end actuator portion of the interchangeable surgical tool set that is operationally coupled to the handle set 500, the closing drive system 510 on the handle set 500, when fully actuated, can generate a stroke closing distance or first axial closing distance that is too long for such a claw arrangement. The illustrated modality of the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 employs a closing stroke reduction set generically designated as 1720 to reduce the amount of closing stroke that is applied to the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 103/196 62/146 end actuator when the closing drive system 510 is fully activated. For example, the closing drive system 510 in a shape of the handle assembly 500 can generate axial closing movements in order to move the closing actuator (for example, the closing joint 514 - Figure 2) or the actuator assembly closing (for example, the closing hinge 514, and the closing movable member 1420) axially forward and backward about 0.240 to 0.260. Such an axial control displacement may be well suited for surgical end actuators that are equipped with an anvil or jaw arrangement that moves distally from the channel or jaw arrangements to which they are attached. Due to the fact that the jaws are pivotally coupled to each other around a JA fixed jaw geometry, they may be more suitable for a shorter closing stroke. In other words, the anvil 1130 does not move distally from the elongated channel 1102. For example, such an arrangement may be more suitable for a closing stroke range of approximately 0.254 cm to 0.381 (0.1 to 0.150). As will be discussed in more detail below, upon the complete actuation of the closing drive system 510 on the handle assembly 500, the closing mobile member 1420 and the proximal closing member 1480 can move approximately in the 0.260 direction in the distal DD direction ( first closing stroke distance). However, the closing stroke reduction set 1720 reduces the amount of closing stroke that is applied to the intermediate closing member 1410 and finally to the distal closing member 1430 (second closing stroke distance). In some arrangements, for example, the 1720 closing stroke reduction set can reduce the magnitude of the closing stroke that is applied to the intermediate closing member Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 104/196 63/146 1410 and the distal closing member 1430 to approximately 0.1 ”, for example. It will be understood that other amounts of reduction in the closing stroke could conceivably be achieved. [0120] Now with reference to Figures 12A and 12B, in one form, the closing stroke reduction assembly 1720 includes a closing reduction joint 1730 that is attached to a closing member mounting member or 1740 mounting ring As can be seen in Figures 6, 12A and 12B, the intermediate closing member 1410 has a proximal fixing flange 1414 which is formed at a proximal end portion 1412. The mounting ring 1740 is sized to move in a sliding manner inside the proximal closing member 1480 and includes a mounting groove 1742 for receiving the fixing flange 1414 therein. Such an arrangement serves to fix the mounting ring 1740 to the intermediate closing member 1410. In the illustrated embodiment, the closing reduction joint 1730 comprises a proximal link 1732 and a distal link 1734 which are fixed together pivotally by an actuating pin 1736 The proximal link 1732 is pivotally pinned to a vertical fixing wall 1518 that is formed in the proximal back channel 1510. The distal link 1734 is pivotally pinned to the 1740 mounting ring. closing mechanism 1730 is actuated by the axial movement of the proximal closing member 1480. In at least one arrangement, for example, the actuating pin 1736 is slidably seated in a slit of flesh 1486 that is provided in the proximal closing member 1480. The actuator pin 1736 also extends inwardly to be slidably received inside a slide rail 1658 which is formed over an end portion proximal to the lock sleeve 1650. Thus, when the proximal closing member 1480 is moved to its most distal position, the actuating pin 1736 is at the end Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 105/196 64/146 proximal to the cam slot 1486 so that the closing reduction link 1730 is in its fully extended position as shown in Figures 12B and 14. When the proximal closing member 1480 is in its most proximal position, the closing reduction 1730 is in its stowed position (Figures 12A and 13). [0121] As was briefly discussed above, the displacement plate assembly 1680 comprises a body portion 1681 having a displacement pin 1682 projecting laterally from it. The displacement pin 1682 extends into a displacement pin slot 1662 which is provided through a wall portion of the switch cylinder 1660. The displacement pin 1682 also extends through a cam opening 1490 which is provided in the proximal closing member 1480. See Figures 10 and 11. The meat opening 1490 in the illustrated arrangement includes a path portion 1492 that is sufficiently long to allow a predetermined amount of axial path of the proximal closing member assembly 1480 with respect to displacement pin 1682 and a firing portion 1494. In at least one arrangement, displacement plate 1680 is constrained to rotate only a short distance around the axis of drive axis SA and is constrained to not move axially inside the switching cylinder 1660. This rotary path of the displacement plate 1680 and displacement pin 1682 can be observed from the reference to Figures 8 to 11. [0122] Figures 8, 10 and 12A illustrate the clutch assembly 1640 in the hinge mode and Figures 9, 11 and 12B illustrate the clutch assembly 1640 in the trigger mode. The clutch assembly 1640 is moved from pivoting mode to firing mode by moving the proximal closing member 1480 to its position. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 106/196 65/146 most distal position that corresponds to a completely closed position of the claws of the end actuator (elongated channel 1102 and anvil 1130). The proximal closing member 1480 is moved distally by pressing the closing trigger 512 on the handle assembly 500. As discussed above, when the closing trigger 512 is pressed, the closing closing member 1420 is moved distally. Since the proximal closing member 1480 is supported on the movable closing member 1420, the proximal closing member 1480 also moves distally. When the clutch assembly 1640 is in articulation mode, the displacement pin 1682 is located about halfway (longitudinally) within the displacement portion 1492 of the meat opening 1490 in the proximal closing member 1480. Thus, the limb proximal closure 1480 can be moved back and forth axially (by pressing and releasing at least partially the closing trigger 512) a short distance to effectively move the claws (anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102) between positions open and closed without moving the 1640 clutch assembly to trigger mode. In this way, the physician can use the claws to secure and manipulate the tissue without moving the claws to a completely closed position and without switching the 1640 clutch assembly to firing mode. However, when the doctor wants to close the claws completely, he presses the closing trigger 512 completely to the fully engaged position. This action causes the proximal closing member 1480 to move to its most distal axial position. See Figures 9, 11 and 22. When the proximal closing member 1480 moves to this position, the proximal cam wall 1491 of flesh opening 1490 comes into contact with the displacement pin 1682 and comes into contact with the cam on the pin in Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 107/196 66/146 offset 1682 (and offset plate 1680) to the firing orientation shown in Figures 9 and 11. In the illustrated embodiment, a torsion displacement spring 1667 is seated on the switch cylinder 1660 and is configured to rotate and force the switch cylinder 1660 to the position corresponding to the articulation mode. See Figure 10. Displacement pin 1682 is at the bottom of displacement pin slot 1662 in switching cylinder 1660 and is thus moved to the pivot position shown in Figure 10. To apply the torsional bias force to switching cylinder 1660 , one end 1668 of the torsion spring 1667 is attached to the switching cylinder 1660 and the other end 1669 is attached to the nozzle 1301. More details regarding the operation of the clutch assembly 1640 and the closing stroke reduction assembly 1720 are provided below . [0123] Figure 12A illustrates the positions of the closing stroke reduction set 1730 and the intermediate closing member 1410 when the proximal closing member 1480 is in an unacted position. This unactivated position can correspond to the orientation of the surgical end actuator jaws when the jaws are in their respective fully open positions. For reference purposes, the untapped position of the proximal closing member 1480 is represented by an initial token line SWLp and the unacted position of the intermediate closing member 1410 is represented by the starting token line SWLi. Figure 12B illustrates the positions of the closing stroke reduction set 1730 and the intermediate closing member 1410 when the proximal closing member 1480 is in a fully actuated position that can correspond to the claw orientations of the surgical end actuator when the claws are in their respective completely closed positions. As was briefly discussed above, when the proximal closure member Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 108/196 67/146 1480 is in the fully actuated position, actuation of trigger trigger 532 will cause the trigger member assembly 1600 to be advanced distally. For reference purposes, the fully actuated position of the proximal closing segment 1480 is represented by an EWL P final core line. The fully actuated position of the intermediate closing member 1410 is represented by a final EWLi core line. The axial distance that the proximal closing member 1480 traveled between the unacted position and a fully acted position is represented by the distance Di. In one example, Di can be approximately 0.260. The axial distance that the intermediate closing member 1410 (and, finally, the distal closing member 1430) traveled between the unacted position and the fully acted position is represented by the distance Dz. As can be seen in Figures 12A and 12B, Di> Dz. In the example mentioned above, D 2 can be approximately 0.1. In this way, the intermediate closing member 1410 and the distal closing member 1430 traveled a shorter axial distance than the proximal closing member 1480. This arrangement allows the claw arrangements of the surgical end actuator 1100 to make better use of closure generated by the closing drive system 510 in the handle assembly 500 and prevents potential damage that could otherwise occur if the full range of closing movements were applied to the end actuator. [0124] Again with reference to Figures 2 and 6, the chassis 1800 includes at least one and, preferably, two conical fixing portions 1802 that are formed therein and that are adapted to be received in the slot cracks 507 that are formed within the distal end portion of the frame 506 of the handle assembly 500. As can also be seen in Figure 2, a Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 109/196 68/146 drive shaft fixation 1606 is formed at the proximal end of the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602. As will be discussed in more detail below, when the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 is coupled to the handle set 500, the drive shaft fixing protrusion 1606 is received on a trigger drive shaft fixing bracket 542, which is formed at the distal end of the longitudinal drive member 540. See Figure 2. [0125] The interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 employs a locking system 1810 to removably attach the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 to the frame 506 of the handle set 500. As can be seen in Figure 5, for example, at at least one shape, the locking system 1810 includes a locking member or locking fork 1812 that is movably coupled to the chassis 1800. In the illustrated embodiment, for example, the locking fork 1812 has a U-shape with two spaced legs extending downwards 1814. The legs 1814 each have a pivot pin (not shown) formed on them, which is adapted to be received in the corresponding holes 1816 formed in the 1800 frame. This arrangement facilitates the pivot attachment of the fork 1812 locking plate to the 1800 chassis. See Figure 6. The 1812 locking fork can include two locking projections that protrude proximally 1818 eq. They are configured to release releasably to the corresponding holders or locking grooves 509 at the distal end of the frame 506 of the handle assembly 500. See Figure 2. In various forms, the locking fork 1812 is forced in the proximal direction by a spring or limb. propensity 1819. The actuation of the locking fork 1812 can be done by a locking button 1820 that is slidably mounted on a set of the locking actuator 1822 that is mounted on the 1800 chassis. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 110/196 69/146 locking 1820 can be forced in a proximal direction with respect to locking fork 1812. Locking fork 1812 can be moved to an unlocked position by forcing locking button 1820 in the distal direction, which also causes that the locking fork 1812 pivots out of the retaining engagement with the distal end 700 of the frame 506. When the locking fork 1812 is in retaining engagement with the distal end of the frame 506, the locking projections 1818 are seated with retention into the corresponding detent or locking grooves 509 at the distal end of the frame 506. [0126] In the illustrated arrangement, the locking fork 1812 includes at least one and, preferably, two locking hooks 1824 which are adapted to contact the corresponding locking projection portions 1426 which are formed in the closing movable member 1420. When the closing movable member 1420 is in an unactivated position, the locking fork 1812 can be pivoted in a distal direction to unlock the interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 from the handle set 500. When in this position, the locking hooks locking 1824 do not come into contact with the portions of the locking projection 1426 on the closing movable member 1420. However, when the closing movable member 1420 is moved to an actuated position, the locking fork 1812 is prevented from being pivoted to a position unlocked. In other words, if the doctor tried to pivot the locking fork 1812 to an unlocked position, or if, for example, the locking fork 1812 was inadvertently protruded or brought into contact in a way that could otherwise cause the the same pivot distally, the locking hooks 1824 on the locking fork 1812 would come in contact with the locking projections 1426 on the closing movable member Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 111/196 70/146 1420 and would prevent the 1812 locking fork from moving to an unlocked position. See Figure 5. Additional details regarding the locking system can be found in US Patent Application publication No. 2014/0263541. [0127] The attachment of the set of interchangeable surgical tools 1000 to the handle set 500 will now be described with reference to Figure 2. To start the coupling process, the doctor can position the frame 1800 of the set of interchangeable surgical tools 1000 above or adjacent at the distal end of the frame 506 so that the conical clamping portions 1802 formed in the frame 1800 are aligned with the slot slots 507 in the frame 506. The physician can then move the set of interchangeable surgical tools 1000 along an axis installation geometry IA which is perpendicular to the drive axis geometric axis SA to seat the tapered clamping portions 1802 in operational engagement with the corresponding receiving slots 507 at the distal end of the frame 506. In doing so, the clamping projection drive shaft 1606 on the trigger drive shaft segment proximal 1602 will also be seated on the support 542 on the longitudinally movable driving member 540 and the pin 516 portions on the closing link 514 will be seated on the corresponding hooks 1421 on the closing mobile member 1420. As used in the present invention, the term operable engagement on the context of two components means that the two components are sufficiently engaged with each other so that, by applying an actuation movement to them, the components can perform their intended action, function and / or procedure. [0128] Again with reference to Figure 4, the distal firing bar 1620 may comprise a laminated stem structure that includes at least two layers of stem. Such stem layers can Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 112/196 71/146 comprise, for example, stainless steel bands that are interconnected, for example, by welding or pinning at their proximal ends and / or at other locations along their length. In alternative embodiments, the distal ends of the bands are not connected together to allow the laminates or the bands to widen in relation to each other when the end actuator is pivoted. Such an arrangement allows the distal firing bar 1620 to be flexible enough to accommodate the articulation of the end actuator. Various laminated knife bar arrangements are disclosed in US Patent Application Serial No. US 15 / 019,245. As can also be seen in Figure 4, a central support member 1614 is employed to provide lateral support to the distal firing bar 1620 as it flexes to accommodate the articulation of the surgical end actuator 1100. More details concerning the central support member and alternative bar support arrangements are presented in US Patent Application Serial No. US 15 / 019,245. [0129] After the set of interchangeable surgical tools 1000 has been operationally coupled to the handle set 500 (Figure 1), the physician can operate the set of surgical tools 10 as described below. As discussed above, when the closing drive system 510 is in its unactivated position (i.e., the closing trigger 512 has not been actuated), the torsion spring 1667 has forced the clutch assembly 1640 and, more particularly, the pin key 1682 and locking sleeve 1650 to the pivot position. See Figures 8, 10 and 12A. As can be seen in Figure 8, when in this position, the locking protrusions 1654 in the locking sleeve 1650 are received inside the drive notch 1603 in the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602. As can be seen in Figure 10, when in this mode, the magneto Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 113/196 72/146 hinge 1708 is positioned in relation to the Hall 1632 effect sensor to indicate to the microcontroller 520 that the tool set 1000 is in hinge mode. When the physician activates the trigger trigger 512, the motor activates the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602 distally. As mentioned above, however, the sliding joint 1622 facilitates the movement of the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 and the intermediate firing drive shaft segment 1610 without moving, or at least substantially moving, the distal firing bar 1620. Due to the fact that the lock sleeve 1650 is in operable engagement with the proximal firing drive shaft segment 1602 and the proximal articulation driver 1700 is in engagement with the lock sleeve 1650, the actuation of the drive shaft segment proximal firing 1602 results in the distal movement of the 1700 pivoting actuator. The distal movement of the 1700 pivoting actuator causes the surgical end actuator 1000 to pivot around the geometric pivot axis BB. During this time, the physician can also partially close the claws of the 1100 end actuator by partially pressing the closing trigger. This axial movement of the proximal closing member 1480, without automatically switching the clutch assembly 1640 to firing mode, is accommodated by the displacement portion 1492 of opening of the meat 1490 in the proximal closing member 1480. See Figure 10. This feature allows the doctor to use the claws to secure and manipulate the tissue before securing the target tissue. [0130] Once the doctor has articulated the end actuator 1100 to a desired position and the claws have been positioned in a desired orientation with respect to the target tissue, the doctor releases the trigger trigger 532 which will stop the motorized movement of the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602 Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 114/196 73/146 as well as the proximal pivot trigger 1700. Pivot lock 1210 will lock the proximal pivot trigger 1700 in this position to prevent further articulation of the end actuator 1100. The practitioner can secure the target tissue between the jaws by pressing the closing lever 512 to the fully depressed position. Such action moves the proximal closing member 1480 distally. Such distal movement of the proximal closing member 1480 causes the key pin 1682 to rotate down into the opening of the meat 1490 as it comes into contact with the meat wall 1491. See Figure 11. Now with reference to Figure 11 , the movement of the displacement pin 1682 down into the cam opening 1490 causes the displacement plate 1680 to rotate the locking sleeve 1650 for rotation to a disengaged position with the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602. the latch protrusions 1654 disengage from the drive notch 1603 on the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602. This way, the proximal trigger drive shaft segment 1602 can move axially without moving the lock sleeve 1650 and the proximal articulation trigger 1700. As the proximal closing member 1480 is moved distally to the fully actuated position (by pressing the closing trigger 512), the closing stroke reduction assembly 1730 moves intermediate closing member 1410 distally a reduced axial distance as discussed above. This axial movement is applied to the distal closing member 1430 and finally moves the claws to the fully closed position. When in this position, the closing drive system 510 on the handle assembly 500 can be locked and the doctor can release the closing trigger 512. When the clutch assembly 1640 has been moved to this firing mode, the firing magnet 1611 is in communication with the sensor Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 115/196 74/146 Hall effect 1632 to indicate the position of the clutch assembly 1640 to the mlcrocontroller 520. See Figure 11.0 microcontroller 520 can provide the physician with an indication of the position of the distal firing bar 1620 as it is advanced distally through the target tissue that is caught between the claws of the end actuator. Once the firing bar is 1620 and, more specifically, the firing member or knife member attached to it has been advanced to a fully triggered position, the microcontroller 520, by means of sensor arrangements, detects the firing position. a portion of the firing member assembly 1600 and can then revert the motor to retract distal firing bar 1620 to its initial position. This action may be automatic or the physician may have to press the trigger trigger 532 during the retraction process. Once the distal firing bar 1620 has been completely retracted to its starting position, the microcontroller 520 can provide the physician with an indication that the distal firing bar 1620 has been completely retracted and the closing trigger 512 can be unlocked to allow the closing assembly 1406 is returned to the unacted position which, in this way, moves the claws to the open position. [0131] In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 15A and 15B, the anvil assembly 1130 includes an anvil body portion 1132 and an anvil mounting portion 1134. The anvil mounting portion 1134 comprises a pair of anvil mounting walls 1136 which are separated by a slit 1138 (Figure 4). The anvil mounting walls 1136 are interconnected or extended by a vertical flap portion 1139. As discussed above, the end actuator mounting set 1230 is pivotally attached to the proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102 by a pair of pins laterally extending jaw clamp 1235 which are swiveled into the jaw pivot holes 1104 Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 116/196 75/146 that are provided at the proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102. The clamping pins 1235 define a pivot geometry axis of the fixed jaw JA that is substantially transversal to the geometric axis of the driving shaft SA. See Figure 4. Each of the anvil mounting walls 1136 has a mounting hole 1140 that extends through it to allow the anvil mounting portion 1134 to be pivotally seated over the clamp fixing pins 1235. in such an arrangement, the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are independently pivoting about the fixed jaw pivot geometric axis JA. Such an arrangement may allow the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 (the claws) to be opened to positions that can be wider than the open positions that can be obtained by the claws of other end actuator arrangements where only one of the claws lies. moves relative to the other claw. [0132] Still with reference to Figures 15A and 15B, the distal closing member 1430 includes two inwardly extending jaw pins 1432 which are adapted to extend through the corresponding channel-opening flesh slits 1106 provided in proximal end 1103 of elongated channel 1102. Each claw opening pin 1432 is configured to engage a corresponding anvil opening flesh surface 1142 that is formed on each anvil mounting wall 1136. As can be seen in Figures 15A and 15B , the anvil opening meat surfaces 1142 are opposite or arranged in an opposite configuration like the corresponding channel opening meat slits 1106. In other words, the channel opening meat slits 1106 and the meat surfaces of anvil opening 1142 curves in opposite directions from each other. [0133] Figure 15A illustrates anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 117/196 76/146 (the claws) in the completely closed position. As the distal closing member 1430 is advanced distally, the distal end 1431 of the distal closing member 1430 travels upwardly through the closing meat surfaces 1137 formed on each of the anvil mounting walls 1136 as well as upwards. closing meat surfaces 1108 formed at the proximal end 1103 of elongated channel 1102. As the distal end 1431 of the distal closing member 1430 comes into contact with the closing meat surfaces 1137,1108, the anvil 1130, as well as the elongated channel 1102, are both pivoted around the claw pivot geometry axis JA to the closed position at the point where the distal end 1431 of the distal closing member 1430 comes into contact with a projection portion 1133 which is formed between the portion anvil assembly 1134 and the anvil body portion 1132 as well as a protrusion 1145 in the elongated channel. See Figure 15A. When the closing member assembly 1400 is locked in position, the distal closing member 1430 holds the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 in that closed position. When the physician wishes to move anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 to the open position, distal closing member 1430 is moved in the proximal direction PD. As the distal closing member 1430 is moved in the proximal direction PD, the claw-opening pins 1432 engage the corresponding channel-opening meat slots 1106 and the anvil-opening meat surfaces 1142 and pivot anvil 1130 and the channel elongated around the fixed jaw geometric axis JA to the open position shown in Figure 15B. Such use of resource pins on the distal closing member to effect the movement of both claws from a completely closed position to a completely open position can be called upon in the present invention. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 118/196 77/146 of positive claw opening features. Other positive jaw opening provisions are set forth in US Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 742,925, entitled SURGICAL END EFFECTORS WITH POSITIVE JAW OPENING ARRANGEMENTS, hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. [0134] Figures 16 to 21 illustrate an alternative distal closing member 1430 employing alternative positive jaw opening features in the form of, for example, movable jaw opening cams 1440 that are attached to distal closing member 1430 ' instead of the claw opening pins. At least one and, preferably, two cam opening of the claw 1440 are movably attached to the distal closing member 1430 'by a corresponding extensible coupler 1450. In the illustrated embodiment, the coupler 1450 comprises a cam or tension spring. In the illustrated arrangement, the tension spring 1454 comprises flat springs to save space. A proximal end of each tension spring 1450 has a hook 1452 formed therein that extends through an opening 1442 in the distal closing member 1430 '. One end of each hook 1452 can be seated in a corresponding slot or groove 1444 that is formed in the distal closing member 1430 'as shown in Figure 16. A distal end 1455 of each tension spring 1454 is attached to the opening meat of corresponding jaw 1440. The proximal end 1103 of elongated channel 1102 includes a pair of spring clearance slits 1106 'and channel opening cam surfaces 1107 that are configured to engage with jaw opening cams 1440. In alternative arrangements, the spring can include maximum extension features that allow only a predetermined amount of compliance and then ensure that the claw opening is proportional to the remaining travel of the closing trigger Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 119/196 78/146 ment and, therefore, the movement of the closing movable member. As indicated above, each of the anvil mounting walls 1136 has an anvil opening flesh surface 1142 formed thereon. As can be seen in Figure 19, the anvil opening meat surfaces 1142 are opposite or arranged in an opposite configuration like the corresponding channel opening meat surface 1107. In other words, the canal opening meat surface 1107 and the anvil opening meat surfaces 1142 are arched and curved in opposite directions. [0135] Figures 20 and 21 illustrate anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 in their respective completely open positions. As can be seen in each of these Figures, the claw opening meat 1440 are oriented between the anvil opening meat surface 1142 and the corresponding channel opening meat surface 1107 and are in their most proximal positions. When in the fully open position, the opening jaws of the claw 1440 are located distally to the distal end of the distal closing member 1430 '. As can be seen in Figures 19 and 20, the opening meat of the claw 1440 can be wedge shaped. In at least one arrangement, the wedge geometry has a gradual flesh surface on the proximal side to prevent connection between the claws. When in this fully open position, tension springs 1454 are in their initial position, with tension springs 1454 applying their lowest amount of propensity to each of the opening meats of claw 1440. At the beginning of the closing process , distal closing member 1430 'is advanced distally in the various ways described herein. As the distal closing member 1430 'is distally advanced, the distal end 1431 comes into contact with the closing meat surfaces 1137 in the anvil mounting portion 1134 and the closing meat surfaces Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 120/196 79/146 1108 which are formed at the proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102 to pivot anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 towards each other around the geometric axis of pivot jaw JA. As the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are pivoted towards each other, the opening meats of the claw 1440 that are moving over the meat surfaces 1142 and 1104 are driven in the distal direction. As the jaw opening meats 1440 are driven distally, tension springs 1454 are elongated and loaded. [0136] Figures 18 and 19 show anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 in their completely closed positions. When the physician wishes to return the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 to their fully open positions (Figures 20 and 21), the distal closing member 1430 'is removed in the proximal direction which allows the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 to pivot. in the opposite direction to each other around the JA pivot geometry axis. Due to the fact that tension springs 1454 are elongated and loaded, they attract each of the claw opening meats 1440 in the proximal direction. As the claw opening meat 1440 moves in the proximal direction PD between the meat surfaces 1142 and 1107, the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are positively moved to the fully open position and retained there by the claw opening meat 1440 The more the distal closing member is moved in the proximal direction, the more the claws are pushed away from each other. Such malleable positive jaw opening arrangements can guarantee the final direct opening by pulling one by one to provide more opening force in the event of blockage. [0137] Figures 22 to 25 illustrate an alternative distal closing member 1430 which employs claw opening tabs as well as at least one claw opening spring 1460 to move the anvil 1130 Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 121/196 80/146 and the elongated channel 1102 'to their respective completely open positions. As can be seen in Figures 24 and 25, distal closing member 1430 is similar to distal closing member 1430 as described above, except that distal closing member 1430 additionally includes an open anvil flange 1435 and an open channel flap. 1437. As shown in Figure 24, when the distal closing member 1430 has been moved to its most proximal position corresponding to the fully open position, the open flap of the anvil 1435 is in contact with the flap 1139 on the anvil mounting portion 1134 and the channel opening flap is in contact with a channel flap 1109 projecting from the underside of the proximal end portion 1103 of elongated channel 1102 '. [0138] The embodiment shown in Figures 22, 24 and 25 also employs a positive jaw opening member which may comprise a jaw opening spring 1460. As can be seen in Figure 23, in the illustrated arrangement, the opening spring of the claw 1460 includes an anvil opening leg 1462 and a channel opening leg 1464 that are secured by a bridge portion 1463. Spring 1460 can be seated on the clamping pins of claw 1235, as shown in Figures 22, 24 and 25 so that the opening leg of the anvil 1462 rests on a bottom surface of the mounting portion of the anvil 1134 and the opening leg of the channel 1464 rests on a bottom surface of the proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102 '. In this way, the claw opening spring 1460 serves to apply bias forces to the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 'to pivot them in the opposite direction to each other for open positions. Figure 25 shows the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 'in the fully closed position. As can be seen in Figure 25, claw opening spring 1460 is in its fully Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 122/196 81/146 tablet. To open the anvil and channel 1102 ', the distal closing member 1430 is moved in the proximal direction PD in the various ways disclosed herein. As the distal closing member 1430 moves proximally, the claw opening spring 1460 positively forces the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 'in the opposite direction from each other around the pivot geometry axis JA to the fully open position. where the anvil opening flap 1435 engages the flap 1139 on the anvil mounting portion 1134 and the channel flap 1437 engages the channel flap 1109. See Figure 24. In at least one arrangement, the opening spring the gripper is mounted proximal to the firing member parking area (ie, the area where the firing member resides when in the starting position). [0139] Figures 26 to 29 illustrate an alternative distal closure member 1470 that employs slit arrangements in the elongated channel and closure member that are configured to move an anvil 1130 between a completely open position and a completely closed position. In the illustrated arrangement, distal closing member 1470 is similar to distal closing member 1430 as described above, except for the differences discussed below. In this arrangement, however, only anvil 1130 moves in relation to elongated channel 1102. As can be seen in Figures 26 to 29, anvil mounting portion 1134 of anvil 1130 includes two anvil pins extending outward 1150 which extend through the corresponding channel slots 1472 provided at the proximal end 1103 of the elongated channel 1102. Each anvil pin 1150 also extends into the corresponding closing slots 1474 in the distal closing member 1470. In the illustrated arrangement, each of the slots channel 1472 extends along a vertical VA geometric axis. Anvil pins 1150 define a PA pivot geometric axis on which anvil 1130 can rotate. Due Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 123/196 82/146 to the fact that the anvil pins 1150 are constrained to move only within the vertically extending channel slits 1472, the pivot geometry axis PA is constricted to move only along the vertical VA geometry axis. Each closing slot 1474 has a proximal portion 1476 and a distal portion 1478. The proximal portion 1476 is located along a first horizontal geometric axis HAi and distal portion 1478 is located along a second horizontal geometric axis HA2 that is offset from the first horizontal geometric axis HA1. See Figure 26. The vertical geometric axis VA is transversal to the first and second horizontal geometric axes HA1 and HA 2 . [0140] Figure 26 illustrates the positions of the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 when in the fully closed position. As can be seen in Figure 26, when in this position, the anvil pins 1150 are located at the top end of the channel slot 1472 (first vertical positions), as well as in the distal portion 1478 of the closing slots 1474. Figure 27 illustrates the positions of the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 after the closing process has started. As can be seen in Figure 27, the distal closing member 1470 has started to move distally so that the anvil pins 1150 are about to enter the proximal portion 1476 of the closing slits and the pins have started to move down into the slits of channel 1472. In Figure 28, the distal closing member 1470 has moved distally to a point where the anvil pins 1150 are at the bottom ends of the channel slots 1472 and the anvil pins 1150 have now entered the proximal portions 1476 of the closing slots 1474. In this way, the anvil mounting portion 1134 moved downward towards the elongated channel 1102. Figure 29 shows the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel anvil 1102 in the fully closed position. As can be seen in Figure 29, Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 124/196 83/146 the anvil pins 1150 are retained at the bottom ends of the channel slits 1472 (second vertical positions) and are also received within the proximal portions 1476 of the closing slots 1474. The anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are retained in this completely closed position while the distal closing member 1470 is retained in that position. As can be seen in Figure 29, such an arrangement facilitates the vertical travel of the anvil mounting portion 1134 with respect to channel 1102, thus increasing the distance between the underside of the anvil and the cartridge platform when in the fully open position. This redundant articulation arrangement can allow adjustment of the proximal distance between the anvil and the cartridge platform adjacent to fabric stops. Another cartridge embodiment may include a metallic cam termination feature proximal to the slider start location. Such a metallic feature can support or maintain the slider in the ready-to-use position, while preventing the tail from flattening. [0141] Figures 30 to 32 illustrate a shape of a firing member 1760 that can be employed with the interchangeable tool set 1000. In an exemplary form, firing member 1760 comprises a body portion 1762 that includes a connector member which extends proximally 1763 which is configured to be received in a correspondingly shaped connector opening 1624 (Figure 4) at the distal end of distal firing bar 1620. Connector 1763 may be retained within frictional opening 1624 by friction and / or suitable welding or adhesive, etc. In use, the body portion 1762 projects through an elongated slot 1160 in the elongated channel 1102. A side flap extending 1764 extends from each side of the body portion 1762. Each flap 1764 includes a proximal end 1765 which has a thickness PEf and a distal end 1767 which has a thickness Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 125/196 84/146 DEr. Such a configuration also defines an upper foot surface 1768 and a lower foot surface 1769. In the illustrated reference, the upper foot surface 1768 and the lower foot surface 1769 angled in the opposite direction to each other. In Figure 31, the upper foot surface 1768 is parallel to the upper geometric axis Ua and the lower foot surface 1769 is parallel to the lower geometric axis U1 with an angle Af between them. In other words, the distal thickness DEt> of the proximal thickness PEf. Thus, each of the foot flaps 1764 tapers in thickness from its respective distal end 1767 to its proximal end 1765, the proximal end being thinner. [0142] Still referring mainly to Figure 31, the illustrated firing member 1760 also includes a pair of top flaps extending laterally 1770. Each top flap 1770 includes a proximal end 1772 having a thickness PEt and a distal end 1774 which has a DEt thickness. Such a configuration also defines a top surface 1776 and a bottom surface 1778. In the reference shown, the top surface 1776 and bottom surface 1778 angled in the opposite direction to each other. In Figure 31, the top surface 1776 is parallel to an upper geometry axis Ta and the bottom surface 1778 is parallel to a lower geometry axis Bl. With an angle At between them. In other words, a distal DEt thickness of each top flap 1770 is greater than their proximal thickness PEt. In this way, each of the top flaps 1770 tapers in thickness from its respective distal end 1774 to its proximal end 1772, with the proximal end 1772 being thinner. In the illustrated arrangement the angle Af may be approximately equal to the angle At. In addition, the top surface 1776 of each of the top flaps 1770 can be a distance Hf from the bottom foot surface 1769 of each corresponding foot flap. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 126/196 85/146 1764 between distal ends 1774, 1765, respectively and can also be a distance Hr from one another at their respective proximal ends 1772, 1767. In the illustrated arrangement, Hf> Hr. In this way, the top surface 1776 of each top flap 1770 is angled away from the drive axis SA axis and each bottom foot surface 1769 of each foot flap 1764 is angled away from the axis geometric axis drive system. The 1760 illustrated firing member additionally includes central locking projections that project laterally 1780 and which will be discussed further in detail below. The body portion 1762 of the firing member 1760 further includes a cutting edge or tissue cutting feature 1766 which is disposed between a distally projecting bottom portion 1771 and a distally projecting top nose portion 1773. [0143] In the illustrated example, the cartridge body 1111 operationally supports within it a plurality of clamp actuators which are aligned in rows on each side of a centrally arranged slot 1114. Figures 33A to 33C illustrate an example of an actuator 1170 staples that can be used to hold staples on one side of a surgical staple cartridge. The actuators located on the opposite side of the centrally arranged slot 1114 can comprise mirror images of the actuators 1170. Other staple actuator configurations can also be employed effectively. As can be seen in Figures 33A to 33C, a form of a staple actuator 1700 comprises a staple actuator body 1172. The actuator body 1172 includes a first or more internal staple support portion 1174 that is configured to support a clamp (not shown) in it. A second or central staple support portion 1176 is configured to hold another staple (not shown) therein and a third Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 127/196 86/146 support portion 1870 that is configured to hold a third clamp (not shown) therein. The first clip support portion 1174, the second clip support portion 1176 and the third clip support portion 1178 are all coupled to each other by a connector portion 1180. In at least one arrangement, the connector portion 1180 is formed with an opening 1182 arranged centrally, which is configured to receive, in a sliding way, inside, a first driver guide (not shown) that is formed in the body of the cartridge. Connecting portion 1180 includes a first portion of meat 1184 which has a first meat surface or ramp 1186 formed thereon. Connecting portion 1180 also includes a second portion of meat 1188 that has a second surface of meat 1190 formed thereon. The meat surfaces 1186, 1190 have the same slope or angle, or they can have different slope / angles. In at least one embodiment, each 1170 clip driver is integrally formed or molded from, for example, Ultem®, without load. However, other materials could be used, for example, Ultem® with a mineral or glass filler, or nylon with a glass filler. In other arrangements, the various portions of the 1170 clamp actuators can be manufactured separately from other materials and be attached to each other by means of adhesive, solder, etc. More details on the 1170 clamp actuators as well as other types of actuator that can be effectively employed with the various modalities disclosed in the present invention can be found in the publication of patent application serial number 14 / 843.243, filed on September 2, 2015, entitled SURGICAL STAPLE CONFIGURATIONS WITH CAMMING SURFACES LOCATED BETWEEN PORTIONS SUPPORTING SURGICAL STAPLES, whose description is hereby incorporated by reference in the present invention. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 128/196 87/146 [0144] Returning to Figures 33, 36 and 37, the firing member 1760 is configured to interface operationally with a slide assembly 1120 that is operationally supported within the body 1111 of the surgical staple cartridge 1110. The slide 1120 is slidably displaceable within the surgical staple cartridge body 1111 from a proximal starting position adjacent to the proximal end 1112 of the cartridge body 1111 to a final position adjacent to the distal end 1113 of the 1111 cartridge body. See Figure 4 The centrally arranged slot 1114 allows the firing member 1760 to pass through it and cut the fabric that is stuck between the anvil 1130 and the staple cartridge 1110. The drivers 1170 are associated with the corresponding pockets 1116 that open across the surface upper platform 1111 of the cartridge body 1111.0 slide assembly 1120 includes a plurality of inclined meats wedge-shaped u 1122 where each meat 1122 corresponds to a certain meat surface 1186, 1190 on the corresponding actuators 1170 located on each side of the slot 1114. When the firing member 1760 is fired or driven distally, the firing member 1760 drives the 1120 slide assembly distally as well. As the firing member 1760 moves distally through the cartridge 1110, the fabric cutting feature 1766 cuts the fabric that is trapped between the anvil assembly 1130 and the cartridge 1110 and the slide assembly 1120 drives the actuators 1170 upward in the cartridge that actuate the corresponding clamps or fasteners in forming contact with the anvil assembly 1130. In the illustrated example, the body portion 1762 of the firing member 1760 is configured to engage the distal end of the slide assembly 1120. In particular, in at least one example, as shown in Figure 33, the distal end of the body portion Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 129/196 88/146 1762 is oriented to simply come into contact with the proximal end of the central portion of the sliding support 1120. In other trigger member arrangements, the body of the trigger member 1762 can be exclusively shaped or configured to connect operationally, fit or make operational interface with the corresponding end portion of the slider assembly contained within a corresponding cartridge assembly so that if the user inadvertently loaded the wrong cartridge into the elongated channel and thereafter attempts to fire the cartridge, the firing member and slider would not a suitable interface to allow the distal advance of the same. [0145] In embodiments where the firing member includes a fabric cutting surface, it may be desirable for the elongated drive shaft assembly to be configured to prevent accidental advancement of the firing member, unless a firing cartridge unspent staples is properly supported in the elongated channel 1102 of the surgical end actuator 1100. If, for example, no staple cartridge was present and the firing member was advanced distally through the end actuator, the tissue would be cut but not stapled . Similarly, if a staple cartridge used (that is, a staple cartridge in which at least some staples have already been fired) is present in the end actuator and the firing member is advanced, the fabric would be cut, but could not be fully stapled if it were stapled. It will be recognized that such occurrences could lead to undesirable catastrophic results during the surgical procedure. US patent No. 6,988,649 entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT HAVING A SPENT CARTRIDGE LOCKOUT, US patent No. 7,044,352 entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT HAVING A SINGLE LOCKOUT MECHANISM FOR PREVENTION OF FIRING, and US patent Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 130/196 89/146 No. 7,380,695 entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT HAVING A SINGLE LOCKOUT MECHANISM FOR PREVENTION OF FIRING, and US Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 742,933, entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENTS WITH LOCKOUT ARRANGEMENTS FOR PREVENTING FIRING SYSTEM ACTUATION IS SPENT OR MISSING each reveal several locking arrangements for the firing member. Each of these references is hereby incorporated by reference, in its entirety. [0146] An unshot, uns worn, or new 1110 cartridge means, in the present invention, that the 1110 cartridge has all of its fasteners in their positions ready to be fired together. When in this position, the 1120 slide assembly is located in its initial position. The new cartridge 1110 is seated within the elongated channel 1102 and can be retained there by snap-fit features on the cartridge body, which are configured to engage corresponding portions of the elongated channel 1102 by retention. Figure 36 illustrates a portion of the 1100 surgical end actuator with an untapped or new surgical staple cartridge 1110 seated on it. As can be seen in Figure 36, the sliding support assembly 1120 is in the home position. To prevent the trigger system from being activated and, more precisely, to prevent the trigger member 1760 from being driven distally through the end actuator 1110, unless a new or unloaded surgical staple cartridge has been properly seated inside the elongated channel 1102, the illustrated interchangeable surgical tool set 1000 employs a trigger member locking system generically designated as 1790. [0147] Now with reference to Figures 33 to 37, in one form, the 1790 firing member locking system includes a firing member Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 131/196 90/146 movable lock 1792 which is configured to engage the firing member 1760 by retention when an spent surgical staple cartridge 1110 is not properly seated within the elongated channel 1102. Lock member 1792 comprises a pair of spring arms side 1793 that are interconnected by a 1794 center mount tab feature. The 1794 center mount tab feature has a 1795 mount hook formed on it that is configured to be hooked onto a 1238 retaining pin in the anvil mount set. 1230 as can be seen in Figures 35 to 37. When installed, the mounting flap 1794 is configured to force the locking member 1792 upwards. In addition, the locking member 1792 includes two side anvil spring arms 1796 that angled upwards to engage the bottom surface of a corresponding anvil mounting wall 1136 in the anvil mounting portion 1134 to force lock member 1792 downward when anvil 1130 it's closed. A trigger member alignment tab 1797 extends upwardly from each side spring arm 1793 to maintain alignment between trigger member 1760 and lock member 1792. As can be seen more particularly in Figure 33 , the distal portion of each side spring arm 1793 includes a laterally extending front arm 1798 ending in a slider flap 1799 that corresponds to a protrusion of slider 1124 that is formed in the outermost wedge-shaped meat 1122 in the slider 1120. Each of the side spring arms 1793 includes a locking notch 1850 in which it is configured to lockably engage one of the corresponding central locking projections 1780 thereto. Those skilled in the art will understand that different numbers and arrangements of slider protrusions can be employed in the difference sliders Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 132/196 91/146 staple cartridge arrangements. The number and arrangement of the slider sail (es) can be configured to interact only with the corresponding slider tabs of the locking member of the appropriate instrument with which the staple cartridge is to be used. In this way, the slider protrusions can act as a key to activate only the locking member of the appropriate device. Such an arrangement can therefore prevent the user from acting on the device when the wrong surgical staple cartridge has been loaded into the elongated channel. [0148] Figure 35 illustrates end actuator 1100 with anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 in its completely closed position without a surgical staple cartridge installed in it. As can be seen in Figure 35, the spring arms of the anvil 1796 are in contact with the underside of the mounting walls 1136, but are not sufficiently loaded. Such a position allows the surgical staple cartridge 1110 to be seated in the elongated channel 1102. If the anvil 1130 were closed in that position, the anvil spring arms 1796 would tilt the spring arms 1793 downwards causing the central projections 1780 to be received in a locked way within the corresponding locking notch 1850 on the spring arm 1793. When in this position, the firing member 1760 cannot be advanced distally. Figure 36 illustrates a new surgical staple cartridge 1110 properly seated within the elongated channel 1102 when the anvil 1130 is in the fully closed position. As can be seen in Figure 36, slide 1120 is in its initial position. When in that position, the protrusions of the slider 1124 engage the slider tabs 1799 and force the spring arms 1793 upward to positions where the locking notches 1850 do not engage the central flaps 1780. Thus, the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 133/196 92/146 firing 1760 is free to be advanced distally. Figure 37 illustrates the position of the firing member 1760 after it has been distally advanced from its initial position. As can be seen in Figure 37, the firing member 1760 is distal to the locking spring and is out of engagement with it. The 1796 anvil spring arms forced the locking member down to an unlocked position. [0149] Figures 38 and 39 illustrate the position of firing member 1760 and locking member 1792 after firing member 1760 was initially retracted in the proximal direction. In the illustrated arrangement, each of the central locking projections 1780 includes a chamfered proximal end portion 1782. See Figures 30 and 31. As the firing member 1760 is retracted to the position shown in Figures 38 and 39, the chamfered proximal ends 1782 of the central locking projections 1780 come into contact with the corresponding front arms 1798 of the locking member 1792 and tilt the spring arms outwards (arrow L in Figure 39). Figures 40 and 41 illustrate the position of firing member 1760 and locking member 1792 after firing member 1760 has been fully retracted back to its initial position. When in that position, each of the central locking projections 1780 is received in a locked manner within the locking notches 1850 on the corresponding spring arm 1793. When in this position, the trigger member 1760 cannot be advanced distally. [0150] Figure 42 illustrates an alternative 1792 'locking member. In this embodiment, the mounting flap 1794 forces the locking member 1792 'down without using anvil spring arms. In this way, the central locking projections 1780 remain in locking engagement with the spring arms 1793 during the opening of the anvil 1130 and the elongated claw 1102 and the loading of the surgical staple cartridge 1110 therein. Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 134/196 93/146 [0151] As discussed above, the cartridge body 1111 has a plurality of anvil pockets 1116 which are arranged in series in lines on both sides of the central slot 1114. Housed within these pockets 1116 are clamp drivers that support operationally one or more surgical clamps or fasteners therein. When the target tissue is trapped between the anvil 1130 and the platform surface of the staple cartridge 1115, the target tissue needs to be positioned so that the tissue that is separated is stapled to each side of the cut line. To prevent the target tissue from being positioned proximal to the most proximal clips or fasteners, the anvil typically contains downward-extending walls, commonly called tissue stops, which serve to block the target tissue from staying in a very proximal position between the anvil and the cartridge. As the anvil is closed towards the cartridge, the fabric stops extend down past the cartridge platform surface to prevent the fabric from being positioned too far proximally between the anvil and the cartridge. In at least one of the end actuator modes described herein, both the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 can move around the pivot geometry axis of the JA claw. Such an arrangement may allow anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 to be even more open than other end actuator arrangements in which only one of the anvil or elongated channel can move or rotate. In other words, the distance between the lower surface of the anvil body 1132 and the cartridge platform surface 1115 of a staple cartridge 1110 which is seated in the elongated channel 1102 of the end actuator 1110 described here when both the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are in their respective completely open positions is generally greater than the distance between the underside of the anvil and the platform surface of a cartridge that is seated Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 135/196 94/146 in an elongated channel of an end actuator in which only one of the anvils and the channel moves in relation to each other. In this way, at least one shape of the end actuator 1100 is configured to employ a staple cartridge arrangement with at least one active fabric stop or expandable fabric stop. In the illustrated arrangement, two active fabric stops generically designated as 1250 are employed. [0152] Now returning to Figures 45, 47 and 48, as discussed above, the staple cartridge body 1111 includes a plurality of staple pockets 1116 located on each side of the elongated slot 1114 that are configured to accommodate the firing member 1760 as it is advanced distally through the cartridge. Depending on the number of configuration and arrangement of the 1116 staple pockets, one or more staple trigger configurations can be operationally supported in that each one supports one or more surgical staples in it. Some pockets located at the proximal end of the cartridge body may not contain triggers and clips. For example, in the illustrated arrangement, staple pockets 1116 contain triggers (not shown) and staples (not shown). The most proximal pockets that hold a trigger and a clamp are identified as 1116P. Although additional unused pockets (identified as 1117), none of these pockets contain triggers and clips. In the illustrated arrangement, all staple pockets 1116 on both sides of the elongated slot 1114 that are in the most proximal pockets 1116P contain surgical triggers and staples. The active fabric stops 1250 are therefore configured to prevent the fabric from being trapped between the anvil 1130 and the cartridge 1110 in a position that is proximal to the 1116P proximal staple pockets to prevent the fabric from being cut without first stapling. [0153] In one arrangement, the 1110 surgical staple cartridge Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 136/196 95/146 alone and / or in combination with the elongated channel 1102 can here be called the first claw and anvil 1130 can be called the second claw. The proximal end 1112 of the staple cartridge 1110 can be called the first proximal end or the proximal end of the first claw. The support surface 1115 can be called the 'first claw surface. In the illustrated arrangement, the anvil body 1132 includes a lower staple forming surface 1135 that faces the cartridge platform and serves to form the staples as they are actuated in contact with it. The clamping surface 1135 (Figure 3) can also be called the second claw surface here ”. [0154] In the illustrated arrangement, the active fabric stops 1250 are operationally attached to the cartridge body 1111. However, other arrangements are contemplated in which the active fabric stops are attached to portions of the elongated channel 1102. [0155] Turning to Figure 45, in at least one arrangement, two active or expandable fabric stops 1250 are employed a fabric stop on each side of the elongated slot 1114. As can be seen in Figure 47, a fabric stop Active 1250 comprises a forked lower fabric stop portion 1260 comprising two cam walls 1262 which are separated by a space 1264 and which are interconnected by a connector 1265. Longitudinally supported within space 1264 is an upper fabric stop portion 1270 As can be seen in Figure 45, a swing bridge 1266 is provided between the walls 1260 at the upper portion of its distal ends. The stop bridge 1266 cooperates with a stop tab 1272 formed on the upper stop of fabric 1270 to prevent the upper stop of fabric 1270 Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 137/196 96/146 extends completely out of the space 1264. Mounting holes 1267 are provided through the walls 1260 to allow the lower fabric stop 1260 to be pivotally seated over a corresponding stop pin 1118 which projects laterally to outside the sides 1113 of the cartridge body 1111. As can also be seen in Figure 45, each of the upper stops 1270 includes a spring mounting hole 1274 that is configured to receive a leg portion 1282 inside of a propensity or stop spring 1280. See Figure 46. [0156] The upper fabric stop 1270 is received slidingly within the space 1264 of the corresponding lower fabric stop 1260 to create the active or expandable fabric stop 1250. The upper and lower portions of the fabric stop 1260, 1270, together with the corresponding biasing member or stop spring 1280, are pivotally seated on the corresponding stop pin 1118. Each set of active fabric stop 1250 is free to rotate around a TSA fabric stop geometry axis that is defined by stop pins 1118. As can be seen in Figure 45, the TSA fabric stop geometry axis is transverse to the elongated slot 1114 in the cartridge body 1111. A second leg 1284 of the stop spring 1280 is seated on a projection or corresponding portion 1119 of the cartridge body 1111 so that when seated on the stop pin 1118, the stop spring 1280 serve to force the upper fabric stop 1270 upwards in the space 1264 until the stop flap 1272 contains the stop bridge 1266. At that point, the biasing member or stop spring 1280 serves to force the whole assembly active fabric stop 1250 upward around the TSA fabric stop geometry axis until the upper fabric stop portion 1270 contacts a stop protrusion Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 138/196 Corresponding 97/146 1121 formed in the cartridge body 1111. [0157] Thus, in the illustrated arrangement, each of the active fabric stop assemblies 1250 is attached to a corresponding side side 1113 of the cartridge body 1110. As can be seen in Figure 45, each side wall 1126 of the elongated channel 1102 has a fabric stopper 1128 formed therein to receive a set of active fabric stopper 1250 in its interior when the jaws 1130, 1110 are in their completely closed positions. Figure 49 illustrates anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 and cartridge 1110 in their completely closed positions. The orientations of the active tissue stop assemblies 1250 when the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 or surgical cartridge 1110 are in their completely closed positions can be called their completely compressed orientations. In certain embodiments, the anvil set 1130 may also have fixed fabric stops 1144 formed on it that are proximal to the active fabric stop sets 1250. See Figures 43 and 44. Figures 47 and 50 illustrate the orientation of a set active fabric stop 1250 when the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are in their respective positions completely open. The orientations of the active tissue stopper sets 1250 when the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 ου the surgical cartridge 1110 are in their fully open positions can be called their fully implanted or fully expanded orientations. When in their fully implanted position, the active tissue stops 1250 serve to prevent the tissue from advancing significantly in a proximal position beyond the more proximal 1116P staple pockets. Figure 49 illustrates anvil 1130 and elongated channel 1102 securing the fabric between them in their respective completely closed positions. Before being installed inside the elongated channel 1102, the fabric stoppers Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 139/196 98/146 can be retained in the retracted orientation shown in Figure 49 by a removable clip cover that is removably attached to the cartridge platform. Once the cartridge is installed in the elongated channel, the clip cover can be removed from the cartridge platform. [0158] Figures 51 to 53 illustrate another fabric stop arrangement comprising cooperating fabric stops on the anvil, as well as on the cartridge. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figures 51 to 53, a pair of vertical cartridge fabric stops 1290 extends upwardly from the cartridge platform surface 1115. When the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are in their positions completely closed, the upper ends 1292 of the cartridge tissue stops 1290 extend into the holes or cavities 1293 provided in the anvil body 1132. The upper ends 1292 of the cartridge tissue stops 1290 are angled so that when the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are completely closed, the upper ends 1292 do not protrude beyond the outer surface of the anvil body 1132. See Figure 53. In addition, the anvil 1130 includes downward extending 1296 fabric stops do not extend below the cartridge platform surface 1115 when the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are in their positions c completely closed and a pair of proximal tissue stops 1298 extending down below the platform surface 1115 of the cartridge 1110 when the anvil 1130 and the elongated channel 1102 are in their completely closed position. See Figure 53. In an alternative arrangement, an elastic band can be placed around the outside of the claws in such a way that the distal edge of the band is in the desired location for the fabric stops. While the claws are opened, the band is stretched but serves as a fabric stop. The strip may rest in recesses in the anvil and in the elongated channel that circumscribe the Petition 870190067600, of 7/17/2019, p. 140/196 99/146 anvil / channel so that the end actuator can pass through standard trocar arrangements.
