Doug Palmisano has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11717950
    Abstract: A dual headed tool having a rotatable arm has a shank with a tool head at each end. The shank slides through a rotatable hub positioned at the distal ends of the tools handle. One half of the shank is inserted into a longitudinal bore extending through the handle while the other half of the shank extends outward so that the tool head at its end may be used. The shank may be slid out of the bore within the handle and rotated to alternate which end of the shank is used. The tour may also be configured without the shank extending into the longitudinal bore in the handle, such that the handle extends away from the shank at an angle between 0° and 180°.

  • Patent number: 10683877
    Abstract: A static bilge pump has a body surrounded by a shell, forming a motive plenum therebetween. Inlets in the front of the shell allow a motive fluid to enter the motive plenum. The motive plenum tapers, decreasing in cross-sectional area along with width as it moves toward its aft, and ends at a motive nozzle. The body houses a suction chamber in fluid communication with a suction inlet that is in fluid communication with the bilge of a boat. Ejectors are positioned proximal to and between the motive nozzle and the discharge outlet. When the static bilge pump is exposed to fluid flow from its front to its stern, such as when a boat is in motion, water enters the motive inlets, filling the motive Plenum and acting as a motive fluid. The motive fluid is ejected at high pressure from the motive nozzle, creating suction at the ejectors and discharging the motive fluid as well as liquid with in the suction chamber out the discharge outlet.

  • Patent number: 9598146
    Abstract: A static bilge pump has an inlet tube, a body and one or more eductors. It may be attached to the back of a boat using bolts, or other means such that the inlet tube may be inserted into the drain at the bottom of the bilge of a boat. A siphon tube connected to the inlet tube hasn't ends that may be placed at the bottom of the bilge or moved about by an operator. The eductor's are streamlined to minimize drag and prevent blockage by debris and flotsam. Buttresses may extends between the body and the doctors to improve stability.

  • Patent number: 5121306
    Abstract: A tool compartment adapted to be mounted to the bed of a truck between vertical side panels thereof, and including a lower base portion having an interior storage compartment and a cover hingedly attached thereto being movable between an open and a closed position relative to an open top of the base portion. A light mounting apparatus is attached to and extends upwardly from the cover, wherein auxiliary or other type lights may be mounted. A locking mechanism allows the cover to be locked in the closed position from within an interior of the truck.
