The drive assembly (140) includes a translatable drive member (142) for actuating the end effector assembly (100), and a torsion spring (160) including first and second legs (161, 162). The first leg (161) is configured to translate through the housing (20) in response to movement of the movable handle (40) relative to the housing (20). The second leg (162) is configured to translate through the housing (20) in cooperation with the first leg (161) to move the drive member (142) longitudinally when a force acting on the drive member (142) is less than a threshold force, and to remain in fixed position, thereby tensioning the torsion spring (160) and retaining the drive member (142) in fixed position when the force acting on the drive member (142) is equal to or exceeds the threshold force.4/29 120 10 84 1 103 g0 82 83 23 24 48 29c 47 49 20 2923 29b 29f29 73 b7~5a29 72 23 75c 40{ 23 42 30 - 29a 2 194 192 FIG. 7
