driven into the stomach tissue aboral of the z line fig8 shows yet another embodiment here the apparatus 400 includes a non linked bail 406 hingedly coupled to its associated chassis 404 at the pivot point 407 the apparatus also includes a fastener director 440 which as in the previous embodiments may be one or more fastener guide lumens 442 here however it will be noted that the fastener director 440 deviates from a line 446 substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis at point 448 by an angle theta u03b8 the lumen 442 then terminates at the wall 443 which is still substantially transverse to the lumen 442 as may be appreciated by those skilled in the art the drive force applied to a fastener beyond point 448 will be split into two components a longitudinal component and a lateral component more specifically the lateral component will vary with the sine of theta and be equal to the total drive force f times the sine of theta f u00d7 sine u03b8 similarly the longitudinal component will vary with the cosine of theta and be equal to the total drive force times the cosine of theta f u00d7 cosine u03b8 when the lateral force becomes greater than the longitudinal force the.
