The 'split reins' you are talking about are Western reins. 'Combined reins' are English. Both are good, just different riding styles.

Their disadvantage is that they can accidently fall down. Usually they are longer than closed reins and kept crossed over the neck /wither area of the neck to prevent them from falling down.

What piece of equiment has the sole purpose of keeping the reins from going over the horses head?

There isn't one. If you ride with split reins you can tie a simple knot. Both types of martingales (standing and running) will stop the reins from going over the horse's head but their purpose is training. These are 'head setting' devices. I thought of 'draw reins' and 'side reins' but these also are training equipment. There are 'stoppers' made of rubber or leather but these are used to keep the bit and reins where they belong. Unless someone have invented something new in the last 5 minutes there is nothing that has the 'sole' purpose of keeping reins in your hands.
