Patent number: 11406093Abstract: A coupling assembly to releasably couple two or more tubes together. The tubes can be assembled and disassembled with conventional hand tools. A line or cable can be routed through the tubes. The coupling assembly can prevent snagging of lines on the exterior of the tubes. The coupling assembly can flex with the tubes under load, and the line can be fed through the coupling assembly without snagging.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: William Ashford Gravely, Jason Sarnowski, Matthew Stewart Onorato

Patent number: 10697214Abstract: A latch that is waterproof or water-resistant so as to resist the entry of water through the latch. The latch can be a slam latch having a pawl with a shaft. A sealing element, for example, a collar and/or an O-ring, can be placed around the shaft of the pawl to resist water from entering through the latch. The pawl can also enclose the cavity in which the latch handle is maintained so water cannot enter through the cavity. Other measures, such as a gasket and selective welding, can also be implemented to improve the water-resistance of the latch.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Stewart Onorato, Jason Sarnowski

Patent number: 10589824Abstract: An adjustable shade system for a boat is disclosed. The shade system includes at least one canvas and at least one pole, for example, an outrigger pole. The at least one canvas is secured to the at least one pole using at least one attachment point. In addition, the shade system includes at least one pivoting connection. The pivoting connection is coupled to a mounting surface and to the first end of the at least one pole. The pivoting connection is adapted to selectively cause the at least one pole to rotate in at least one rotational direction relative to the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: GEM Products, Inc.Inventors: Erle Matthew Bridgewater, Matthew Stewart Onorato, Wylie Davin Nagler, Michael Joseph Fafard

Patent number: 10575512Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: 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
