Claim:
1. A divider device for placement upon a surface to divide a pair of different articles, said divider device comprising: (a) an extension beam having a longitudinal axis, said extension beam also having a tangential axis that is perpendicularly positioned to said longitudinal axis, further said extension beam having a projection axis that is perpendicularly positioned to said tangential axis, said extension beam additionally including a proximal end portion and an opposing distal end portion with said projection axis spanning therebetween, further said extension beam having a first end portion and an opposing second end portion with said longitudinal axis spanning therebetween and said extension beam also having a first face portion and an opposing second face portion with said tangential axis spanning therebetween; and (b) a flexible flange extending from said proximal end portion, said flexible flange extends parallel to both said longitudinal and tangential axes such that said flexible flange further has an extension in an outward manner that extends omni-directionally beyond said extension beam to terminate in an outer periphery relative to said proximal end portion, said flange having a primary surface oppositely positioned to said extension beam, said flange also having a secondary surface that is oppositely positioned to said primary surface, said primary surface having a concave shape that is juxtaposed to both of said tangential and longitudinal axes, wherein said concave shape forms an elongated depression trough that is elongated along said longitudinal axis, wherein operationally said primary surface is pressed into direct contact with the surface, thus substantially flattening said concave shape as against the surface to form a removable engagement as between said flange and the surface thus forming a substantially fluid tight interface between said flange and the surface that extends beyond said extension beam first and second end portions along said longitudinal axis and said flange extending beyond said extension beam said first and second face portions to help prevent a one of the articles from communicating between said extension beam, said flange, and the surface to another article on the surface that is disposed opposite of the other article in relation to the extension beam.
