It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer. The patents you find on Google pertain to little tweaks and updates on the original design, which, again, is minimal: A bar of wood can and does get the job done. I can only guess that the divider followed soon after grocery stores adopted conveyor-belt systems, beginning with some overeager attempts at futuristic convenience in the late 1930s.
