Fastener applicator with interlock

1. A fastener applicator comprising:

a handle;

a first trigger coupled rotatably with respect to the handle;

a second trigger coupled rotatably with respect to the handle; and

an interlock disposed with the second trigger, the interlock comprising a cam follower engaged in a cam channel that selectively prevents rotation of the second trigger relative to the first trigger depending on a location of the cam follower within the cam channel, wherein the location of the cam follower in the cam channel is set by a position of the first trigger, wherein the handle includes the cam channel and the second trigger includes the cam follower, wherein the cam channel has a first leg that permits tandem movement of the second trigger with the first trigger during closing of the first trigger and a shoulder that prevents movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger until the first trigger is closed and wherein the cam channel has a second leg that permits tandem movement of the second trigger with the first trigger during re-opening of the first trigger after the second trigger has been closed relative to the first trigger.

2. A fastener applicator comprising:

a handle;

a shaft extending distally from the handle;

a jaw assembly at a distal end of the shaft having one or more fastener supporting structures;

a first trigger coupled movably with respect to the handle, the first trigger coupled to the jaw assembly such that movement of the first trigger relative to the handle selectively closes the jaw assembly;

a second trigger coupled movably with respect to the first trigger, the second trigger coupled to the jaw assembly such that movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger selectively retracts the one or more fastener supporting structures; and

an interlock coupled to the second trigger and operatively arranged to selectively prevent movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger depending on a position of the first trigger, wherein the interlock includes a cam follower engaged with a cam channel, wherein the handle includes the cam channel and the second trigger includes the cam follower, wherein the cam channel has a first leg that permits tandem movement of the second trigger with the first trigger during closing of the first trigger and a shoulder that prevents movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger until the first trigger is closed and wherein the cam channel has a second leg that permits tandem movement of the second trigger with the first trigger during re-opening of the first trigger after the second trigger has been closed relative to the first trigger.

3. The applicator of claim 2 , wherein the interlock permits movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger when the first trigger is closed and prevents movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger when the first trigger is open.

4. The applicator of claim 2 further comprising a second interlock coupled to the first trigger and operatively arranged to selectively prevent movement of the first trigger relative to the handle depending on a position of second trigger.

5. A fastener applicator comprising:

a handle;

a first trigger movable with respect to the handle between a first position and a second position;

a second trigger movable with respect to the first trigger between an initial position and an actuated position;

a first interlock coupled to the second trigger and operatively arranged to selectively prevent movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger until the first trigger is moved into the second position, wherein the first interlock includes a cam follower engaged with a cam channel, wherein the handle includes the cam channel and the second trigger includes the cam follower, wherein the cam channel has a first leg that permits tandem movement of the second trigger with the first trigger during closing of the first trigger and a shoulder that prevents movement of the second trigger relative to the first trigger until the first trigger is closed and wherein the cam channel has a second leg that permits tandem movement of the second trigger with the first trigger during re-opening of the first trigger after the second trigger has been closed relative to the first trigger; and

a second interlock coupled to the first trigger and operatively arranged to selectively prevent movement of the first trigger relative to the handle until the second trigger is moved into the actuated position.

6. The fastener applicator of claim 5 further comprising a pair of jaws, the first trigger coupled to the pair of jaws for setting the pair of jaws in an open configuration when the first trigger is in the first position and in a closed configuration when the first trigger is in the second position.

7. The fastener applicator of claim 6 further comprising one or more fastener supporting structures disposed with the pair of jaws, the second trigger coupled to the one or more fastener supporting structures for setting the one or more fastener supporting structures in a deployed configuration when the second trigger is in the initial position and in a retracted configuration when the second trigger is in the actuated position.
