Claim 5:
6. A surgical device comprising:
a closure assembly including:
a movement unit configured to be connected to a movable member, the movement unit including:
a bar; and
a bar biasing member in communication with the movement unit and configured to move the bar; and
a latch unit configured to be connected to a ground member, the latch unit including:
a hook latch configured to selectively receive the bar; and
a latch biasing member in communication with the hook latch to selectively move the hook latch;

wherein all or a portion of the latch unit is movable relative to the ground member and all or a portion of the movement unit is movable relative to the movable member;
wherein the bar is movable relative to the hook latch between a home position where the bar is spaced apart from the hook latch and a plurality of contact positions where the bar contacts the hook latch; and
wherein movement of the bar from the home position to a first contact position of the plurality of contact positions causes the bar to slide along an entry portion of the hook latch, thereby deflecting the bar biasing member in a first direction until the bar contacts a bar stop of the latch unit.
