In the use of the mat the same is applied upon a step and the cups 8 will by vacuum make secure the said. mat to the upper face of the step (not shown), the toe edge 8 of the mat being adapted to extend over the front edge of the step.
What is claimed is: A mat of the character described comprising a sheet-like substantially non- -porous resilient 2 body having pockets in one iface thereof and opening through the under side of the same, and vacuum cups within these pockets with the walls of said cups spaced from the walls of the pockets and having necks joining the said cups with the body centrally of the pockets with the tread ongaging edges of the cups extending below the entrances to the pockets.
