2 SUSPENSION POCKET SPRING SYSTEM Technical Field This invention relates to springs used to provide flexibility among platforms/layers where they are located. 5 In particular the invention relates to suspension pocket spring system produced for use in manufacture of bed inner construction systems. Background of the Art Today springs of various sizes made of various materials are used in several fields. The springs provide flexibility of the platforms where they are located. When 10 pressure is applied onto the platform, it is compressed and provides energy collection. During that time it also tries to oscillate. When the pressure thereon starts to reduce it starts to oscillate. The oscillation continues until all energy accumulation occurred after compression is discharged. Regardless of the material they are made of, the springs lose their functions due to deformation after 15 a certain number of oscillations. In the patent document numbered GB734949, the invention relates to spiral/helical springs located between two layers for use in floor covering and beds, The said springs are located between two layers formed with knitting process for use in floor covering or beds. As mentioned above, it loses its function and is deformed after a 20 certain number of oscillations since the resistance is low. Again, the invention under the patent no GB2403902 entitled "Mattress comprising both pocketed and open springs" relates to a spring unit consisting of multi pocketed springs having flexible structure in enclosed pack form made of garment or other materials and open springs located between the said multi pocketed 25 springs. The said pocketed and open springs are preferably made of spiral springs. The said invention contains pocketed springs used between the said springs. The springs used in the pocketed springs and other springs used in between are manufactured and used in the same size and intensity. The invention under the patent no FR2861270 entitled "Helical spring string for 30 spring suspension of bedding mattress, has retention pockets, each containing two helical springs that are connected via central coil having smaller diameter and 3 produced with same metallic wire" relates to a spring embodiment containing holder pocket consisting of two interconnected helical springs. The said helical springs are interconnected at the centers where the diameters are smaller. Both helical springs are made of uninterrupted identical metal materials. The helical 5 springs in the same pocket have identical or different rigid structure. The spring embodiment of the said invention is composed of those springs in the pocket form. Improvement in the said embodiment is possible. The invention of the patent no US6256820 entitled "Multilayered pocketed bedding or seating product" relates to bedding or seating product comprising a spring core 10 made up of a plurality of parallel strings of springs joined to each other. Each of the strings of springs comprises a row of interconnected pocketed coil springs. The pocket of fabric surrounding each of these coil springs is divided into at least two sub pockets by at least one line of attachment of opposite sides of the fabric to each other. Each of these sub pockets contains one portion of the coil spring, thus 15 resulting in a multilayered product. Flexibility resistance increase has been provided in this way but entire of the embodiment consists of pockets of the same features, which increases manufacture cost and causes manufacture of heavier material. The desired plane homogeneity is not provided either. The invention under patent no US639741881 entitled "Double spring mattress and 20 manufacturing process" relates to a spring plane containing two springs layer reinforced inside a cover and production of it. The springs of the upper layer are located over the springs having structure appropriate to the structure inside the lower layer. The springs used for flexibility resistance of the said structure are two parts located in an enclosed structure in pocket form. 25 The invention under the patent no. US6523812 entitled "Spring Units" relates to a spring unit for use in a sprung unit such as a bed, mattress, the spring unit comprising a pocket of fabric or other suitable material and having at least two sub-pockets, each of said sub-pockets containing a resilient member. The pocket will preferably be divided across, laterally, or diagonally so as to form said at least 30 two sub-pockets. The sub-pockets may be of equal length or of differing lengths. The said pocket is divided by fabric or other convenient materials. In this invention, although the said pocket spring is composed of two parts within itself, it does not 4 have a separate and partial structure. It is a pocketed spring composed of two interconnected spring parts. As seen from the samples given above and figure 1, in the embodiment of the related art either a single type spring embodiment is used and pocketed springs 5 are located between the single type springs. The said pocketed springs consist of single or part embodied springs. Both excess materials is used and it does not respond to the body ergonomics as requested. Fort that reason, the embodiment does not offer an equal distribution in response to weight and height of the person using it, the embodiments fail to offer ergonomics and comfort. 10 As a result it has been necessary to make development in the related art due to existence of need for a suspension pocketed spring system having separate structure for use in manufacture of inner construction systems of bed and inadequacy of the existing solutions. Purpose of the Invention 15 From the status of the related art, the purpose of the invention is to provide appropriate respond to body ergonomics in order to eliminate the disadvantages of the related art. Another purpose of the invention is to offer equal sensitivity to weight and height differences of users. 20 A further purpose of the invention is to prolong the life by help of the resistance structure. Another purpose of the invention is that it does not impact the body ergonomics since equal distribution is provided on both sides of the embodiment when compared to partial structural applications. 25 A further purpose of the invention is to reduce the cost with help of manufacture technique. Another purpose of the invention is to provide resistance and long life of materials used with help of resistance structure. Another purpose of the invention is to provide lower use cost with help of long life.

5 A further purpose of the invention is to offer higher preference in the materials used with help of resistance and long life. The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be better understood with the figures given below and detailed description with 5 reference to be made to them and therefore, the assessment should be made taking into consideration the said figures and detailed description.
