A surgical stapling apparatus includes a handle assembly, a shaft assembly extending distally from the handle assembly, and an end effector selectively detachable from the shaft assembly. The end effector includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member. The first jaw member supports a lever that is pivotally movable relative to the first jaw member between an extended position and a retracted position. The lever is in contact with a leaf spring to spring bias the lever to the extended position. The second jaw member supports a drive beam that is selectively engagable with the lever to facilitate a pivotal movement of the second jaw member relative to the first jaw member between an unapproximated state and an approximated state.

1. An end effector, comprising: a mounting portion;a first jaw member extending distally from the mounting portion, the first jaw member including a tissue engaging surface and supporting a lever assembly, the lever assembly including a lever pivotally connected to the first jaw member and pivotally movable relative to the first jaw member between an extended position and a retracted position;a second jaw member extending distally from the mounting portion and supporting a drive beam, the drive beam being selectively engagable with the lever assembly to facilitate a pivotal movement of the second jaw member relative to the first jaw member between an unapproximated state and an approximated state; anda fastener cartridge secured to the second jaw member and supporting a plurality of fasteners in fastener retaining slots defined in a tissue engaging surface of the fastener cartridge,the drive beam being configured to disengage from the lever assembly, to distally translate along the first jaw member and the second jaw member to approximate the first and second jaw members relative to one another, and distally translate along the fastener cartridge to fire the plurality of fasteners from the fastener retaining slots and form the plurality of fasteners against the tissue engaging surface of the first jaw member. 2. The end effector of claim 1, wherein the drive beam defines a notch therein, the lever being engaged with the notch when the first and second jaw members are in the unapproximated state, when the drive beam is in a proximal position, and when the lever is in the extended position, wherein the lever is engaged with the notch of the drive beam to limit distal translation of the drive beam prior to the second jaw member pivoting relative to the first jaw member from the unapproximated state to the approximated state. 3. The end effector of claim 2, wherein the lever is configured to disengage from the notch as the lever pivots from the extended position to the retracted position in response to the second jaw member pivoting relative to the first jaw member from the unapproximated state to the approximated state. 4.

The powered surgical stapling apparatus of claim 11, wherein the drive beam defines a notch therein, the lever being engaged with the notch when the first and second jaw members are in the unapproximated state, when the drive beam is in a proximal position, and when the lever is in the extended position, wherein the lever is engaged with the notch of the drive beam to limit distal translation of the drive beam prior to the second jaw member pivoting relative to the first jaw member from the unapproximated state to the approximated state. 13. The powered surgical stapling apparatus of claim 12, wherein the lever is configured to disengage from the notch as the lever pivots from the extended position to the retracted position in response to the second jaw member pivoting relative to the first jaw member from the unapproximated state to the approximated state. 14. The powered surgical stapling apparatus of claim 13, wherein the drive beam is distally translatable when the first and second jaw members are in the approximated state and the lever is in the retracted position. 15. The powered surgical stapling apparatus of claim 11, wherein first jaw member supports a leaf spring configured to contact the lever to bias the lever to the extended position. 16. The powered surgical stapling apparatus claim 11, wherein the second jaw member supports a drive screw operably associated with the drive beam to translate the drive beam as the drive screw rotates. 17. The powered surgical stapling apparatus of claim 16, wherein the drive beam includes a retention foot that threadably receives the drive screw, the drive screw being coupled to a rotatable drive member, wherein rotation of the drive screw in the retention foot facilitates pivotal movement of the second jaw member relative to the first jaw member and translation of the drive beam through the fastener cartridge. 18.
