    摘要: An end effector for a surgical device, the end effector comprising: a first jaw; a second jaw; and an articulating mechanism operable to move the first jaw between an open position in which the first jaw and the second jaw are separated and substantially non-parallel, an intermediate position in which the first jaw and the second jaw are separated and substantially parallel, and a closed position in which the first jaw and the second jaw are substantially adjacent and substantially parallel;
    wherein the articulating mechanism comprises a first jaw mount coupled to the first jaw, the first jaw mount being movable along a path, wherein movement of the first jaw mount along the path causes rotation and translation of the first jaw mount and the first jaw, thereby moving the first jaw between the open position, the intermediate position, and the closed position, and a pivotably mounted crank, the crank operably coupling an actuator linkage to the first jaw mount so that moving the actuator linkage rotates the crank, wherein rotation of the crank moves the first jaw mount along the path.
