DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 1.
A vessel, such as a ship, a boat and the like, comprising a hull having an inner hollow; a movable body located in said inner hollow of said hull; and means for guiding said movable body in said inner hollow of said hull and formed so that when said hull turns about any horizontal axis in a first direction under the action of waves, wind and the like, said movable body urges to turn said hull back about the same any horizontal axis in a second direction which is opposite to said first direction so as to stabilize the ship, said guiding means including a spherical body, a guiding member with a guiding surface on which the spherical body can roll, and a holding member provided with a spherical receptacle and arranged to movably hold said spherical body, said hull and said movable body forming two elements, said guiding member being connected with one of said elements, while said holding member is connected with the other of said elements.
2.
A vessel as defined in claim 1, wherein said guiding surface of said guiding member is concave and formed as a part of a sphere.
3.
A vessel as defined in claim 1, and further comprising retaining means for supporting said movable body and at the same time allowing its movement in said inner hollow of said hull.
4.
A vessel as defined in claim 3, wherein said retaining means includes a sleeve-shaped retaining member, and a rod-like member movable in said retaining member.
5.
A vessel as defined in claim 4, wherein said rod-like member has a spherical end; said retaining means further comprising a further holding member provided with a spherical receptacle for receiving said spherical end of said rod-like member.
6.
A vessel as defined in claim 5, wherein said movable body and said hull form two elements, said sleeve-shaped retaining member being connected with one of said elements, while said further holding member is connected with the other of said elements
