       2 . The hammock support system of  claim 1 , wherein the clew ropes are braided into a sword mat at their convergence adjacent engagement with the triangular clew ring  
   
   
       3 . The hammock support system of  claim 1 , wherein the said detachable means is an “S” shaped link, the bottom half of which is open
