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 for an underlying surface, comprising: a single layer made of a semi-flexible material and configured to receive contact from an object, the layer having a plurality of slits;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, when at least partially open, each of the plurality of slits comprises an inclined floor and an exposed side wall, the inclined floor being a downward slope toward the exposed side wall, the side wall being configured to be abutted to the object applying the downward force on the anti-slip covering, the sidewall providing a bracing force against the object to resist slipping of the object over a surface of the anti-slip covering when the side wall is abutted to the object; whereinthe plurality of slits comprises a siping pattern, andthe siping pattern is at least a plurality of rows of curvilinear slits, a solid space being disposed between each slit in each of the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits, the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits being laterally extended across the anti-slip covering. 2. The anti-slip covering of claim 1, wherein the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits comprises at least a first row of slits aligned end to end and being identically curved in a first direction. 3. The anti-slip covering of claim 2, wherein the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits further comprises at least a second row of slits aligned end to end and being identically curved in a second direction, the second direction being an opposing direction relative to the first direction, the second row of slits being adjacent to the first row of slits. 4. The anti-slip covering of claim 3, wherein each slit in the first row of slits is longitudinally aligned with each solid space in the second row of slits and each slit in the second row of slits is longitudinally aligned with each solid space in the first row of slits. 5. An anti-slip covering for an underlying surface, comprising: a first layer made of a semi-flexible material and configured to receive contact from an object, the first layer having a plurality of slits through the first layer; anda second layer disposed between the first layer and the underlying surface to allow deformation of the first layer when one or more of a downward force and a horizontal force is applied on the anti-slip covering,wherein the plurality of slits are configured to at least partially open when a downward force is applied by the object onto the anti-slip covering, andwherein, when at least partially open, each of the plurality of slits comprises an inclined floor and an exposed side wall, the inclined floor being a downward slope toward the exposed side wall, the side wall being configured to be abutted to the object applying the downward force on the antislip covering, the sidewall providing a bracing force against the object to resist slipping of the object over a surface of the anti-slip covering when the side wall is abutted to the object; andwherein the plurality of slits comprises a siping pattern, the siping pattern being at least a plurality of rows of curvilinear slits, a solid space being disposed between each slit in each of the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits, the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits being laterally extended across the anti-slip covering, andwherein the plurality of rows of curvilinear slits comprises at least a first row of slits aligned end to end and being identically curved in a first direction and a second row of slits aligned end to end and being identically curved in a second direction, the second direction being an opposing direction relative to the first direction, the second row of slits being adjacent to the first row of slits. 6. The anti-slip covering of claim 5, wherein the semi-flexible material is a first material and the second layer is comprised of a second material, the second material being a foam sheet that is more flexible than the first material, and wherein the second layer is adhered to the first layer.
