摘要

A model driver for moving a model of, e.g., a ship, an automobile, or a horse used for a game machine or a toy and a game machine provided with such a model driver are disclosed. A model and a traveling body are provided on both sides of a travel plate. The model is coupled to the traveling body by the attracting magnetic force exerted between the permanent magnet provided to the model and that provided to the traveling body. Hence the model travels on the travel plate, following the traveling body. The driving wheel of the traveling body is in contact with the lower side of the travel plate and driven to rotate. The traveling body travels between the lower side of the travel plate and the support surface provided under the travel plate and parallel to the lower side of the travel plate.
