ANTI-SLIP COVERINGS FOR SURFACES

摘要

Anti-slip coverings for underlying surfaces are shown and described. The anti-slip coverings include a layer made of a semi-flexible material that is configured to receive contact from an object and has slits at least partially extended through the layer. The layer includes a cut-out pattern comprised of a plurality of cut outs cooperatively aligned with the slits to enable the slits to at least partially open when one or more of a downward force and a horizontal force is applied by the object onto the anti-slip covering. In some examples, the anti-slip covering includes a second layer disposed between the first layer and the underlying surface to allow compression of the first layer when a downward force is applied on the anti-slip covering.

1. An anti-slip covering tor an underlying surface, comprising:
a layer made of a semi-flexible material and configured to receive contact from an object, the layer having a plurality of slits at least partially extended through the layer; the plurality of slits being configured to at least partially open when one or more of a downward force and a horizontal force is applied by the object onto the anti-slip covering; wherein:
the layer has a cut-out pattern comprised of a plurality of cut outs, the cut-out pattern defining a plurality of underlying open spaces; andan outer edge of each of the plurality of cuts outs is aligned with one of the plurality of slits.
