Bubble device 10 permits a user to directionally disperse a product under compressive pressure toward zone of concern 10Z. Opposed webs 10S and 10C are pressed together to form sealed perimeter 10P around a central enclosure, forming dispersing bubble 12. The perimeter has a breaching seal 10B for product dispersion and a non-breaching seal 10N along the remaining perimeter. Product 10P for dispersion and compressible product transport fluid 12F are contained within the dispersing bubble. The transport fluid is compressed and the force of compression causes the bubble to bulge toward the frangible breaching seal (see FIG. 1C). The web separation occurs inside the dispersing bubble, forcing an edge breach 12E in the breaching seal. The compressed transport fluid rapidly escapes as a released blast through the edge breach. The stored energy of compression within the bubble is released as kinetic energy of the escaping transport fluid. Opposed peel tabs 12S and 12C are formed by the enclosure material of the opposed webs proximate the edge breach as the bubble breaches. The opposed webs 10S and 10C may be completely separated forming application pads (see FIG. 1E) for applying any product residue 12R remaining on the webs after the dispersion.

I claim as my invention: 1. Bubble device for permitting a user to directionally disperse a product toward a zone of concern, comprising: opposed webs of enclosure material pressed together to form a sealed perimeter around a central enclosure, the perimeter having a breaching seal for product dispersion and a non-breaching seal along the remaining perimeter, the breaching seal comprising a frangible web union, the breaching seal disposed adjacent an edge of the bubble device and substantially coextensive with the width or diameter of the central enclosure; the central enclosure forming a dispersing bubble enclosed between the opposed webs within the perimeter; product contained within the dispersing bubble; compressible product transport fluid contained within the dispersing bubble; the transport fluid is compressed under external pressure, causing the opposed webs to separate along the breaching seal inside the dispersing bubble, forcing an edge breach in the breaching seal from inside to outside; the compressed transport fluid rapidly escapes as a released blast through the edge breach and expands out of the dispersing bubble; the escaping expanding transport fluid transports at least a portion of the product out of the bubble for directional dispersion toward the zone of concern; and opposed peel tabs formed by the enclosure material of the opposed webs proximate the edge breach as the bubble breaches, which tabs may be peeled apart by the user to further separate the opposed webs. 2. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein a portion of the product contained within the dispersing bubble is mingled with the transport fluid and is transported through the edge breach with the rapidly escaping transport fluid. 3. The bubble device of claim 2, wherein another portion of the product contained within the dispersing bubble is in liquid form, some of which goes into the transport fluid as the transport fluid warms due to compression within the dispersing bubble, and condenses out of the transport fluid into the zone of concern as the transport fluid cools due to expansion outside the dispersing bubble. 4. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein at least some product contained within the dispersing bubble is in liquid form having a surface exposed to the transport fluid, a portion of which liquid is atomized into the transport fluid by the rapid flow of the of the transport fluid across the surface, and which is transported through the edge breach with the escaping transport fluid. 5. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein at least some product contained within the dispersing bubble is in liquid form, a portion of which remains as surface residue on the enclosure material of the breached dispersing bubble after the product dispersion. 6. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein at least some product contained within the dispersing bubble is in liquid form, a portion of which is transported through the edge breach as blast droplets of product by the rapidly escaping transport fluid. 7. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein the dispersing bubble is an array of dispersing bubbles enclosed between sheets of opposed webs. 8. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein the dispersing bubble is a roll of dispersing bubbles. 9. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein the dispersing bubble is a strip of dispersing bubbles. 10. The bubble device of claim 9, wherein the dispersing bubbles in the strip contain a selection of products for dispersion. 11. The bubble device of claim 10, wherein the selection of products in the strip of dispersing bubbles are applied in a protocol sequence. 12. The bubble device of claim 10, wherein the breaching seals on each of the dispersing bubbles are along the same edge of the strip. 13. The bubble device of claim 1, wherein one of the opposed webs is a support web and the other opposed web is a cover web. 14. The bubble device of claim 13, wherein the support web is flat and the cover web is convex defining the dispersing bubble. 15. The bubble device of claim 13, wherein both the support web and the cover web are convex defining the dispersing bubble. 16. A method for directionally dispersing a product toward a zone of concern under compressive pressure by a user, comprising the steps of: directing a bubble device toward the zone of concern, the bubble device is formed by opposed webs of enclosure material pressed together to form a sealed perimeter having around a central enclosure, the perimeter having a breaching seal for product dispersion that comprises a frangible web union, the breaching seal disposed adjacent an edge of the bubble device, and a non-breaching seal along the remaining perimeter, the central enclosure forming a dispersing bubble enclosed between the opposed webs within the perimeter, the dispersing bubble contains a product for dispersion and a compressible product transport fluid, and wherein the zone of concern is separate from the bubble device and external to the opposed webs of enclosure material; compressing the transport fluid within the dispersing bubble by external pressure; expanding the dispersing bubble along the breaching seal inside the dispersing bubble under the external pressure on the transport fluid; separating the opposed webs along the breaching seal; forcing an edge breach in the breaching seal from inside to outside due to the separation of the opposed webs; permitting the compressed transport fluid to rapidly escape as a released blast through the edge breach, and expand out of the bubble and away from the bubble device; transporting at least a portion of the product out of the bubble and away from the bubble device with the escaping transport fluid for dispersions toward the zone of concern; and wherein after the dispersion step further comprising the additional step of further separating the opposed webs by means of opposed peel tabs formed on the opposed webs proximate the edge breach as the dispersing bubble breaches. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising before the directing step, the step of shaking the product and the transport fluid within the dispersing bubble. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein during the directing step the bubble device is directed upwards causing the product within the dispersing bubble to shift downwards away from breaching seal. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein during the directing step the bubble device is directed downwards causing the product within the dispersing bubble to shift downwards closer to the breaching seal.
