Abstract
A device for compartmentalizing liquids. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an overspill-protection compartmentalizing device to be used in conjunction with a liquid container. The container may be a glass, a beaker, a cup or any other device for containing a liquid of any kind. The compartmentalizing device uncoils so as to take up the width of the container in order to divide the liquid present inside the container and to avoid spillages and splashing in the event of shaking caused by a person or an environment. It notably allows persons suffering from tremors to avoid being stigmatized by having a discreet device.
