      Floor sanding edger
     | 
    William P. Hilger  | 
    St. Cloud, MN | 
    Improvements to the mechanism of the sander in patent 2,565,658, to address the tendency of the bolt holding the sandpaper to tighten in use, making it difficult to remove and sometimes tearing the sandpaper. |

      Surface finishing device
     | 
    William P. Hilger  | 
    St. Cloud, MN | 
    Improvements to patent 2,483,904 to improve heat dissipation, by providing a felt pad between the rubber pad and the sandpaper. The felt permits some air circulation which helps reduce the temperature of the paper and also avoids the heat from friction between rubber and paper. |
