Various forms of surgical instruments are disclosed. In various embodiments, the instrument includes a cartridge supporting assembly for operably supporting a staple cartridge therein. The cartridge supporting assembly may be responsive to firing and retraction motions applied thereto from a firing assembly. An anvil may be operably coupled to an anvil closure assembly. The anvil closure assembly may be constructed to selectively move the anvil in a proximal direction toward the cartridge supporting assembly to enable a portion of tissue to be clamped between a cartridge supported by the cartridge supporting assembly and the anvil under a predetermined amount of compression. The device may further include a closure actuator that operably interacts with the anvil closure assembly such that as the closure actuator is moved in a first direction, the anvil closure assembly causes the anvil to move in the proximal direction to increase the compression of the tissue between the staple cartridge and the anvil. A variable load generating member may cooperate with the anvil closure assembly and the closure actuator to apply a resistive load to the closure actuator in relation to an amount of compression applied to the tissue between the anvil and the staple cartridge.

1. A surgical instrument comprising: a cartridge supporting assembly for operably supporting a staple cartridge therein, the cartridge supporting assembly being responsive to firing and retraction motions applied thereto from a firing assembly;an anvil;an anvil closure assembly coupled to the anvil and configured to selectively move the anvil in a proximal direction toward the cartridge supporting assembly to enable the anvil to compress a portion of tissue between a staple cartridge supported by the cartridge supporting assembly and the anvil;a distal cap portion operably communicating with the anvil closure assembly such that upon actuation of the distal cap portion in a first direction, the anvil closure assembly causes the anvil to move in the proximal direction and upon actuation of the distal cap portion in a second direction, the anvil closure assembly causes the anvil to move in a distal direction away from the staple cartridge;a proximal cap portion movably supported relative to the distal cap portion for movement in the first and second directions; anda variable load generating member interconnecting said proximal cap portion and said distal cap portion such that when the proximal cap portion is rotated relative to said distal cap portion in a rotational direction, the variable load generating member causes the distal cap portion to move in the first direction while applying a resistive load to the proximal cap portion resisting further rotation of said proximal cap in the rotational direction in relation to an amount of compression force applied to the tissue between the anvil and the staple cartridge. 2. The surgical instrument of claim 1 wherein the resistive load applied to the proximal cap portion increases as the amount of compression applied to the tissue increases and the resistive load applied to the proximal cap portion decreases as the amount of compression applied to the tissue decreases. 3. The surgical instrument of claim 1 further comprising first reference indicia associated with the proximal cap portion and the distal cap portion to indicate a first position that corresponds to a first position of the anvil relative to the staple cartridge when the anvil has applied a first predetermined amount of compression to the tissue. 4. The surgical instrument of claim 3 further comprising second reference indicia associated with the proximal cap portion and the distal cap portion to indicate a second position of the anvil relative to the staple cartridge when the anvil has applied a second predetermined amount of compression to the tissue. 5. The surgical instrument of claim 4 wherein said first predetermined amount of compression is a minimum amount of compression required to form staples supported within the staple cartridge as the staples are driven from the staple cartridge into the anvil when the firing motion is applied to said cartridge supporting assembly and wherein said second predetermined amount of compression is a maximum amount of compression required to form the staples as the staples are driven from the staple cartridge into the anvil when the firing motion is applied to said cartridge supporting assembly. 6. The surgical instrument of claim 1 wherein the variable load generating member comprises a spiral spring. 7. The surgical instrument of claim 6 wherein the spiral spring is sized such that when the proximal cap portion is moved to a first position relative to the distal cap portion, the spiral spring causes the distal cap portion to interact with the closure assembly to move the anvil to a first position relative to the staple cartridge wherein a first amount of compression is applied to the tissue and as the proximal cap portion is moved to a second position relative to the distal cap portion, the spiral spring causes the distal cap portion to interact with the closure assembly to move the anvil to a second position relative to the staple cartridge wherein a second amount of compression is applied to the tissue. 8. The surgical stapling instrument of claim 7 further comprising a reference indicator on the proximal cap portion that registers with first indicia on the distal cap portion when the proximal cap portion is in the first position, said reference indicator further oriented to register with second indicia on the distal cap portion when the proximal cap portion is in the second position. 9. The surgical stapling instrument of claim 8 wherein the first amount of compression is a minimum amount of compression required to form staples supported within the staple cartridge as the staples are driven from the staple cartridge into the anvil when the firing motion is applied to the cartridge supporting assembly and wherein the second predetermined amount of compression is a maximum amount of compression required to form the staples as the staples are driven from the staple cartridge into the anvil when the firing motion is applied to the cartridge supporting assembly. 10.
