Publication number: 20180014522Abstract: An outrigger clamp to couple together two or more nestable tubes. The clamp includes a guide for retaining filament, and an attachment point for receiving accessories without interfering with the filament and guides. The guide and attachment point can rotate about an axis based on the forces applied to the outrigger to better align the filament and guides, and therefore align the forces applied to the outrigger and filament. The retainer can be, for example, one or more rollers that help prevent the filament from becoming creased or kinked during use.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2017Publication date: January 18, 2018Applicant: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Erle Matthew Bridgewater, Michael Joseph Fafard, Wylie Davin Nagler, Matthew Stewart Onorato, Jason Sarnowski

Patent number: 9743653Abstract: A drain system having a body adjustably coupled to a drain. The body can be rotated along its threads and engage a seal in the drain to substantially prevent water from flowing out of the drain. When rotated the opposite direction, the body can be spaced from the seal and allow water to flow out of the drain. The drain can also include holes that allow water to flow into the drain when the body is rotated so as to be spaced from the seal.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Jason Sarnowski, Matthew Stewart Onorato, Benjamin Adam Wilder

Patent number: 9625087Abstract: A mount capable of rotating a body in multiple planes with a single handle. The handle can be disposed in a first position, where rotation of the handle causes the body to rotate in a horizontal plane; or a second position, where rotation of the handle causes the body to rotate in a vertical plane. The body can otherwise be locked and not rotatable.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Jason Sarnowski, Matthew Stewart Onorato, Erle Matthew Bridgewater, Benjamin Adam Wilder

Patent number: 9079637Abstract: A drain plug including a first handle on an interior side of a boat and a second handle on an exterior side of the boat, allowing the drain plug to be operated from an exterior side of the boat or from the interior side of the boat. The handles are also sized to prevent passage through a drain port to prevent the drain plug from being lost. The drain port in which the drain plug is disposed may be angled to provide for clearance between the first handle of the drain plug and the hull of the boat and enable a user to easily grasp the interior handle of the drain plug to install and uninstall the drain plug by hand.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Gem Products, Inc.Inventors: Jason Sarnowski, Erle Matthew Bridgewater

Publication number: 20140331722Abstract: A compression latch is disclosed that is adapted to fold down in both the locked and unlocked positions and that compresses a washer when in the closed position. The latch can couple directly to a hinged body, and does not require a separate housing that is then coupled to the hinged body. The above structure reduces leak points, creates a flush appearance, reduces the risk of injury, and allows greater customizability, as compared to prior art latches.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicant: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Erle Matthew Bridgewater, Jason Sarnowski

Publication number: 20140090204Abstract: An adjustable friction hinge that implements a sex bolt in the barrel of the hinge is disclosed. One or more washers can be concentrically arranged about the sex bolt and can interact with the portions of the leaves of the hinge to create the necessary friction to maintain a desired hinge position. An indent can also be provided on the friction hinge to abut an interior of the sex bolt and prevent loosening of the sex bolt during use. The sex bolt acts as a more stable structural backbone as compared to the prior art adjustable hinge and includes a receiving portion where a common tool can be used to reduce or increase the amount of friction in the hinge. The washer configuration of the present application exhibits little to no wear characteristics over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Jason Sarnowski, Erle Matthew Bridgewater, Erik D.

Patent number: 8402907Abstract: A movable cleat assembly is provided. The movable cleat includes a support base, a face plate positioned adjacent the support base and a retractable cleat. The retractable cleat includes a handle portion and at least one leg extending through the support base and the face plate. The face plate further includes an edge that is adapted to deform or otherwise embed a portion of itself into a boat when installed. At least one of the support base and face plate includes at least one tube to receive the leg therein. The at least one tube is composed of a corrosion-proof material.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2011Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Rafael Cleveland, Jason Samowski
