Claim Text:
1. A surgical apparatus, comprising; a. a main body including; b. a collet member supported for rotational movement in the first cylindrical passage of the main body, the collet member including: c. a biasing member biasing the collet member in a first rotational direction within the first generally cylindrical passage of the main body; d. a lack member having a second length, the lock member aligned in the passage of the collet member and extending radially inward beyond the inner surface of the collet member, the second length of the lock member being greater than the first length of the passage of the collet member wherein the collet member limits the lock member and retains the lock member within the first generally cylindrical passage of the main body; and e. an actuator radially movable in the second radially extending passage of the main body, the actuator including a second surface for engaging the first surface of the collet member wherein radially inward movement of the actuator against a force of the biasing member rotates the collet member within the first generally cylindrical passage and moves the lock member from a first locked position to a second unlocked position wherein the lock member can move radially outward to be at least partially located in the recess of the main body.
