Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to functional bottoms, and more specifically, to functional bottoms comprising a removable hip pad that allows the user to select and remove the hip pad according to their preference and intention. Background Technology

[0002] Lower body clothing, including conventional hip pads, has been widely used for the purpose of body shape correction and appearance improvement. However, hip pads based on conventional technology faced limitations in achieving the wearer's desired body shape due to structural constraints. In particular, since the protrusion size and shape of the hip pads were fixed, they often failed to provide correction effects suitable for various body types. This resulted in the inconvenience of requiring wearers to individually replace the pads or purchase custom-made ones.

[0003] Problems also arose during the process of replacing hip pads. In conventional technology, a method of fixing hip pads to lower body clothing was primarily used, which resulted in the inconvenience of having to completely remove the lower body clothing to replace or remove the pads. This structural problem not only reduced the usability of the hip pads but also caused unnecessary hassle in the wearer's daily life. (See Fig. 1)

[0004] In addition, conventional hip pads frequently shifted or detached during wear. There were many cases where the hip pads moved unintentionally within lower body clothing or lost their fixation, failing to maintain the desired body shaping effect. These issues made the wearer's appearance unnatural, undermining the original purpose of body shaping.

[0005] Hygiene management of hip pads was also one of the significant problems with conventional technology. Since hip pads and lower body garments were often designed as a single unit, damage to the pads or failure to maintain hygiene frequently occurred during the washing process. This was an area that required improvement, as it could be directly related to the wearer's skin health.

[0006] Conventional hip pads have a limitation in that their correction effect is standardized, making it difficult to reflect the individual needs of the wearer. To achieve the desired protrusion size or shape, wearers had to purchase or use additional hip pads of various sizes and shapes, which acted as an economic burden.

[0007] In particular, existing hip pads did not provide the ability for wearers to finely adjust the degree of protrusion in specific areas. The wearer's need to precisely correct specific positions of the pelvis and buttocks was not adequately met by conventional technology, which acted as a factor lowering satisfaction with the body shape correction effect.

[0008] Technically, conventional hip pads failed to provide sufficient flexibility and adaptability to the wearer's physical activities due to their simple structure. There was a lack of technical solutions to effectively secure the pads while maintaining the mobility and comfort of lower body clothing, which exacerbated discomfort during wear.

[0009] The design of existing hip pads did not include features that could reflect changes in the wearer's body shape in real time or immediately adjust the correction status. This limitation imposed restrictions on wearers using hip pads for multi-purpose body shape correction.

[0010] Furthermore, the combined structure of hip pads and lower body clothing was inefficient during the separation and storage process. Conventional hip pads were often manufactured in a form that was difficult to store separately or easily damaged, making them unsuitable for long-term use. This resulted in problems with the product's lifespan and maintenance efficiency.

[0011] Ultimately, conventional hip-padded lower body clothing fails to meet the individual needs of wearers and has significant limitations in terms of practicality, convenience, and hygiene management. As these issues remained unresolved, there were limitations in improving satisfaction with body-shaping clothing, which degraded the user experience and restricted the usability of related products.

[0012] The present invention aims to solve the problems of conventional technology. The present invention provides a variable structure capable of real-time body shape correction desired by the user, and proposes functional hip-padded bottoms that complement the shortcomings of existing technology by improving the ease of attachment, detachment, and maintenance of the hip pads.

[0031] Composition and function of the pelvic pad storage unit (110)

[0032] The pelvic pad storage unit (110) is the most basic component of the functional pelvic pad bottom of the present invention and serves to stably store the variable pelvic pad (120) inside the lower body garment and fix it so that its position does not change according to the wearer's movements. This storage unit is designed with a detachable structure on the inner side of the lower body garment so that the wearer can easily insert or remove the pelvic pad as needed.

[0033] Inside the storage compartment, a storage space of a predetermined volume is formed to accommodate a variable pelvic pad (120). This space is designed to sufficiently accommodate the shape and size of the pelvic pad and includes an outlet that can adjust the volume and position of the pelvic pad. The outlet is used when inserting or removing the pelvic pad and is positioned in a location that allows for easy access from the outside.

[0034] The structure of the pelvic pad storage section (110) is divided into a front fixing section (111), a side storage section (112), and a rear storage section (113). The front fixing section is in close contact with the front of the lower body garment and securely fixes the front part of the pelvic pad. The side storage section extends along both pelvic sections to store the sides of the pelvic pad, and the rear storage section is located in the buttocks area to securely fix the rear pelvic pad.

[0035] The inner surface of the pelvic pad storage portion (110) is coated or laminated with a material having friction. This design prevents the pelvic pad from unintentionally moving or separating due to the wearer's movements. Additionally, the friction layer is designed to optimize friction with the wearer's clothing and skin to maintain stability while ensuring that the wearer does not experience discomfort.

[0036] This storage compartment is designed with a detachable structure, allowing it to be separated from lower body clothing for separate washing or storage. This reduces the hassle of washing the entire garment and enhances the maintenance efficiency of the hip pad storage unit itself. Wearers can separate and combine the storage unit and the hip pads as needed to meet various body shaping requirements.

[0037] Front fixing part (111)

[0038] The front fixing part (111) is located in the front part of the pelvic pad storage part (110) and is designed to be in close contact with the front part of the lower body garment. This structure serves to maintain the stability of the pelvic pad in the area corresponding to the front part of the wearer's pelvis. The front fixing part is one of the main elements that provide basic fixing power to the pelvic pad storage part.

[0039] The front fixing section is positioned in a surface-contact manner at the front center of the lower body garment to maximize the contact area between the hip pad storage section and the garment. This prevents the hip pads from shifting or twisting due to the wearer's movements. This contact surface is coated or laminated with a material possessing a predetermined level of friction to enhance stability.

[0040] In addition, the front fixing section is designed with a structure that extends symmetrically in both directions. This symmetrical design maintains left-right balance on the front of the lower body garment and keeps the fixation position of the hip pads more stable. As a result, the wearer can achieve a natural appearance without issues such as the hip pads shifting or asymmetry.

[0041] The front fixing part is designed to optimally support the protrusion effect of the variable pelvic pad (120). In particular, the interior of the front fixing part is structured so that the variable pelvic pad can be inserted, allowing the pelvic pad to be stored stably. This prevents the problem of the pelvic pad unnecessarily changing position according to the wearer's movements.

[0042] In addition, the front fastener features a detachable structure that provides convenience for washing and maintenance. The wearer can easily detach the front fastener when washing lower body clothing or replacing the hip pads. This contributes to improving the efficiency of hygiene management for the entire hip pad storage area.

[0043] Side storage compartment (112)

[0044] The side storage portion (112) is located on both sides of the pelvic pad storage portion (110) and has a structure that extends along the side of the wearer's pelvis. This portion plays an important role in stably fixing the side portion of the pelvic pad and maximizing the body shape correction effect.

[0045] The side storage compartments are connected to the front fixing part in an integrated structure and are positioned in a surface contact manner on both sides of the pelvic area of ​​the lower body garment. They are designed to prevent the pelvic pads from shaking or shifting position due to the wearer's movements, and to achieve this, a material with a predetermined amount of frictional force is coated or laminated on the inner surface.

[0046] Inside the side storage compartment, a storage space of a predetermined volume is formed to accommodate a variable pelvic pad (120). This space accurately accommodates the side portion of the pelvic pad and securely fixes the stored pelvic pad so that it is not deformed by movement. This provides a consistent correction effect when the wearer wishes to correct the side of the pelvis.

[0047] In addition, the side compartments are designed symmetrically to maintain left-right balance. This symmetrical structure helps the hip pads to be evenly distributed on both sides of the wearer's pelvis, allowing the shaping effect to appear naturally. This design enhances the aesthetic function of the garment as a body-shaping item.

[0048] The side compartments are designed with a detachable structure to accommodate various body types. Users can separate or replace the compartments as needed, allowing for flexible responses to body shape correction requirements. This is a key feature that enhances the multi-purpose versatility of lower body apparel.

[0049] Rear storage compartment (113)

[0050] The rear storage section (113) is located at the rear part of the pelvic pad storage section (110) and is positioned in a surface contact form with the buttocks area of ​​the lower body clothing. This section focuses on correcting the wearer's buttocks area and serves to stably secure the rear part of the pelvic pad.

[0051] The rear compartment is connected to the side compartments via an integrated structure and extends along the center of the rear of the lower body garment. The inner surface of the rear compartment is also coated or laminated with a friction-producing material to prevent the hip pads from shifting or falling off. This helps the wearer maintain a consistent corrective effect even during activity.

[0052] Inside the rear storage compartment, a storage space is provided for storing a variable pelvic pad (120). This space stably stores the buttock extension (120b) and naturally creates the protruding shape of the buttocks. The storage space is designed to reflect the curved shape of the buttocks as much as possible so that a natural appearance can be maintained when worn.

[0053] The rear storage compartment also supports a variable structure to flexibly respond to changes in the wearer's body shape. The variable hip pad (120) located at the rear can adjust its volume and shape through an expansion member (121), and can selectively expand a specific part of the upper, middle, or lower portion of the hip area according to the wearer's needs.

[0054] In addition, the rear storage compartment is designed with a detachable structure that allows users to easily separate or replace it. This reduces the inconvenience that may occur when the wearer washes or replaces the rear hip pads and contributes to improving the maintenance efficiency of the lower body garment.

[0055] Composition and role of variable pelvic pads (120)

[0056] The variable pelvic pad (120) is a core technology of the present invention and provides a function that allows the shape and volume of the pelvis and buttocks area to be adjusted in real time according to the wearer's body shape. The variable pelvic pad is stored in the pelvic pad storage unit (110) and is designed with a structure that allows the degree of protrusion to be finely adjusted according to the wearer's requirements.

[0057] The variable pelvic pad is divided into a pelvic expansion section (120a) and a buttock expansion section (120b). The pelvic expansion section corrects the side of the wearer's pelvis, and the buttock expansion section corrects the buttock area. Each of these two components contains a plurality of expansion members (121), so the volume and shape of the pelvic pad can be adjusted by injecting or releasing air into the expansion members.

[0058] The expansion member (121) is designed with a tubular structure, and when air is injected into it, its outer diameter expands to correct the wearer's body shape. The expansion member is composed of multiple members having different expansion rates, allowing for detailed correction of specific locations of the pelvis and buttocks. For example, the wearer can selectively expand specific parts of the upper, middle, and lower sections of the pelvis.

[0059] The variable pelvic pad (120) includes an expansion section (122) inside. The expansion section protects the expansion member and prevents damage caused by external impact. Additionally, a lubricating material (123) is filled inside the expansion section to support smooth expansion and contraction of the expansion member. This structure increases the durability of the expansion member and helps prevent deformation even after long-term use.

[0060] The variable pelvic pad (120) is operated through a variable control unit (130) linked to a smart device. The wearer can set the size and shape of the pelvis and buttocks protrusions using an application installed on the smart device. Depending on the set value, the control module (132) injects or releases air into the inflatable member to achieve the body shape correction state desired by the wearer.

[0061] Pelvic extension (120a)

[0062] The pelvic expansion part (120a) is one of the main components of the variable pelvic pad (120) and serves to correct the side of the wearer's pelvis. This component is stored inside the side storage part (112) and is designed to adjust the size and shape of the protrusion on the side of the pelvis. The pelvic expansion part is designed with an expandable structure, providing various body shape correction effects according to the wearer's preferences and needs.

[0063] The pelvic expansion portion contains a plurality of expansion members (121) inside. These expansion members are arranged at regular intervals in the vertical direction and can each expand independently. Through this, the wearer can selectively correct a specific position of the pelvis and individually adjust the degree of protrusion of the upper, middle, and lower portions.

[0064] The pelvic expansion section includes an expansion compartment (122) that surrounds the expansion member, and this compartment protects the expansion member while preventing the expansion member from being damaged by external impact. A lubricating material (123) is filled inside the expansion compartment to support smooth expansion and contraction of the expansion member. This increases the durability of the expansion member and prevents deformation from occurring even with long-term use.

[0065] The pelvic expansion unit operates through a variable control unit (130) linked to the user's smart device. Depending on the protrusion size and shape set in the smart device application, the control module (132) injects or expels air into the expansion member to achieve the body shape correction state desired by the user. As a result, the pelvic expansion unit can satisfy individual body shape correction needs.

[0066] The pelvic expansion unit is structurally designed to be lightweight and flexible, ensuring it does not hinder movement during activities. This feature is designed to provide body shaping effects while maintaining the fit of lower body clothing. Additionally, its detachable structure allows users to easily replace or maintain the pelvic expansion unit.

[0067] gluteal extension (120b)

[0068] The buttock extension (120b) is a rear component of the variable pelvic pad (120) and serves to correct the wearer's buttocks. This component is stored inside the rear storage section (113) and is designed to adjust the size and shape of the buttocks' protrusion. The buttock extension has a rounded curve shape, providing a natural appearance.

[0069] The buttock expansion section, like the pelvic expansion section, contains multiple expansion members (121). The expansion members are positioned at the upper, middle, and lower sections of the buttocks and can expand or contract independently. This allows the user to selectively correct specific parts of the buttock area.

[0070] The expansion section (122) inside the buttock expansion section serves to surround the expansion member while simultaneously fixing it securely. The expansion section is filled with a lubricating material (123) to support smooth expansion and contraction of the expansion member and to prevent wear and damage to the expansion member. This design enhances the durability of the buttock expansion section and extends its service life.

[0071] The buttock expansion part can be linked with a smart device to realize the buttock shape desired by the user. The control module (132) adjusts the air volume required for each expansion member according to the user's input value, thereby allowing for fine adjustment of the degree of protrusion and shape of the buttocks. This is a feature designed to accurately satisfy the wearer's body shape correction needs.

[0072] The gluteal extension is designed with a detachable structure, allowing users to separate it for cleaning or replacement as needed. This facilitates hygiene management and maintenance of the lower body garment, helping to maintain the product's quality even after prolonged use.

[0073] Expansion member (121)

[0074] The expansion member (121) is a core component of the pelvic expansion portion (120a) and the buttock expansion portion (120b) and performs the function of adjusting the volume and shape of the pelvic pad in real time. This component is designed as a tubular structure, and when air is injected into it, its outer diameter expands to correct the wearer's body shape.

[0075] The inflatable members consist of multiple components with different inflation rates. This design allows for precise correction of specific positions in the pelvis and hips. For example, the inflatable members positioned at the top, middle, and bottom can each inflate or deflate independently, enabling the wearer to achieve the desired protruding shape.

[0076] The expansion member is made of a material possessing a predetermined elastic restoring force. Since this material can return to its original shape after expansion, deformation does not occur even with repeated use. Furthermore, the expansion member is highly durable and is designed to withstand damage from external impacts or friction.

[0077] The expansion member is placed inside the expansion section (122), and the section serves to stably protect the expansion member. A lubricating material (123) is filled inside the expansion section so that the expansion and contraction of the expansion member occur smoothly. This prevents damage caused by friction of the expansion member and improves the durability of the product.

[0078] The inflatable members are operated via a variable control unit (130), and air is injected into or expelled from each inflatable member according to a value entered from a smart device application. This allows the wearer to precisely control the specific position and degree of protrusion of the pelvis and buttocks. These technical features help the wearer meet various body shape correction needs.

[0079] Configuration and role of the variable control unit (130)

[0080] The variable control unit (130) is a core component of the present invention designed to control the expansion and contraction of the variable pelvic pad (120) to enable the wearer to achieve a desired body shape correction state in real time. This control unit performs the function of injecting or releasing air into the expansion member (121), thereby allowing for precise adjustment of the size and shape of the pelvis and buttocks protrusions. The variable control unit is composed of a pump module (131), a control module (132), and a battery module (133).

[0081] pump module (131)

[0082] The pump module (131) serves to inject or discharge air into the inflatable member. This module is mounted on both sides of the lower body garment and operates according to a control signal received from the control module (132). The pump module is designed to individually adjust the air in each of the multiple inflatable members, allowing the wearer to selectively expand or contract specific locations of the pelvis and buttocks. Additionally, the pump module is compact and lightweight, so it does not cause discomfort to the wearer even when integrated into the garment.

[0083] control module (132)

[0084] The control module (132) is the central control unit of the variable control section and is wirelessly connected to the wearer's smart device. The control module receives control signals input from an application installed on the smart device and transmits them to the pump module. For example, if the user sets a specific part of the pelvis or buttocks and the degree of expansion in the application, the control module calculates the air volume required for each inflation member based on the input values ​​and executes this through the pump module. This design allows for accurate reflection of the user's requirements.

[0085] The control module (132) is a core component of the variable control unit (130) and functions to control the state of the variable pelvic pad (120) in real time by linking with the wearer's smart device. This module receives a body shape correction setting value input by the user and, based on this, operates the pump module (131) to inject or discharge air into the expansion member (121), thereby adjusting the volume and shape of the pelvic pad.

[0086] The control module connects to a smart device application via wireless communication. Using wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enables a fast and stable connection, and it instantly accepts values ​​set by the user in the application. This wireless connectivity method allows the user to conveniently use the control module even while wearing it.

[0087] The control module includes a processor that processes input data. Based on the body shape correction values ​​(selected values) entered by the user, the control module performs necessary calculations to determine the volume of air to be injected into each inflatable member. These calculations are performed individually for specific areas of the pelvis and buttocks, thereby realizing customized body shape correction.

[0088] This module is equipped with real-time processing capabilities, so when a user changes a setting, it immediately calculates a new value and controls the pump module. For example, if the user sets it to further expand only the upper part of the pelvis, the control module injects air only into the expansion member in that area, while maintaining the other members in their existing state.

[0089] In addition to user input, the control module can monitor the current status of the lower body garment via sensors. It detects the current volume, pressure status, and air injection speed of the inflatable member and adjusts control signals based on this information. This serves as a safety mechanism to prevent issues such as excessive inflation or imbalance that may occur during use.

[0090] The control module precisely controls the operating speed and air injection volume of the pump module based on the user's settings. This allows the user to experience correction effects optimized for their body shape. In addition, the module includes a function that compares the settings with the current state and automatically performs correction operations when necessary.

[0091] The control module provides an intuitive feedback system to enhance interoperability with the user interface (UI). The current expansion status can be visually checked on the application screen, and the expected calibration results based on the settings are displayed in a graphical format. This helps users accurately understand and configure the desired calibration state.

[0092] The module includes a storage device capable of recording and saving the user's previous settings. This feature allows users to easily recall and apply frequently used calibration values, providing a personalized user experience. Furthermore, it accumulates data on changes in the wearer's body shape, enabling long-term analysis and optimization.

[0093] The control module is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It consumes minimal power during communication with the pump module and operation control, and can be used for a long time through linkage with the battery module (133). As a result, the user can continuously perform body shape correction without worrying about a lack of power in the control module.

[0094] Finally, the control module is constructed from materials designed for durability and stability, ensuring stable operation even under external impacts or environmental changes. This allows the wearer to use the product in various environments and maintains consistent performance over extended periods.

[0095] Selectable values ​​that can be entered on smart devices

[0096] Users can control the state of the variable hip pads by entering various selection values ​​through a smart device application. The inputtable selection values ​​are as follows:

[0097] Upper, middle, and lower pelvic expansion ratios

[0098] The wearer can set the degree of expansion by selecting a specific location on the pelvis. For example, the ratio is entered as 30% for the top of the pelvis, 50% for the middle, and 20% for the bottom.

[0099] Upper, middle, and lower hip extension ratio

[0100] Likewise, you can set the expansion ratio for each specific area of ​​the buttocks area. For example, enter 40% for the top, 60% for the middle, and 30% for the bottom.

[0101] Total extrusion size setting

[0102] The wearer can enter a value to adjust the overall protrusion size of the pelvic pads. This is a common setting value that affects the entire inflatable member.

[0103] Save and recall preferred body type profiles

[0104] Users can save specific body shape correction values ​​and recall them when needed to reapply the same settings.

[0105] Whether automatic adjustment function is enabled

[0106] It can be configured to automatically adjust the inflation level while the wearer moves. For example, it reduces inflation when sitting in a chair and restores it to its original state when standing.

[0107] Method for calculating and controlling air volume based on selected values

[0108] Data processing

[0109] The control module calculates the air volume value required for each expansion member (121) based on the selection value entered by the user. For example, if the upper part of the pelvis is set to be expanded by 30%, the control module calculates a volume value corresponding to 30% of the maximum expansion capacity of the expansion member.

[0110] Air volume distribution

[0111] The calculated volume value is transmitted to the pump module, and the amount of air to be injected into each expansion member is determined individually. This allows for the selective expansion of specific areas or overall expansion while maintaining balance.

[0112] feedback loop

[0113] The control module continuously monitors the current state (pressure, volume) of the expansion member. By comparing the input value with the current state, if the target value is not reached, it injects additional air or releases air if necessary.

[0114] Precision control

[0115] The operating speed and time of the pump module are controlled to prevent the inflation component from over-inflating or under-inflating. During this process, the control module processes data in real time to accurately match the value set by the wearer.

[0116] Visual and auditory feedback

[0117] The control module visually displays on the application screen whether the value entered by the user has been executed, or conveys the completion status through an audible notification. This helps the user verify whether the settings have been properly reflected.

[0118] The control module efficiently links the smart device input values ​​with the operation of the pump module in this manner, enabling the user to easily achieve the desired body shape correction.

[0119] Battery module (133)

[0120] The battery module (133) is a component that supplies power to the variable control unit. This module is mounted on one side of the lower body garment in a detachable structure and is equipped with a rechargeable secondary battery. The battery module provides stable power to the control module (132) and the pump module (131) and is designed to allow for long-term use through its rechargeable structure. The battery module can be easily detached and charged by the wearer, thereby increasing the convenience of maintenance.

[0121] The most significant feature of the variable control unit (130) is the smart function that maximizes user convenience. The wearer can remotely control body shape correction through a smart device, and detailed extension settings are possible for the upper, middle, and lower parts of the pelvis and buttocks, respectively. This precise control function enables user-customized body shape correction compared to conventional fixed-structure pelvic pads. In addition, real-time linkage between the control module and the application provides flexibility, allowing the user to immediately adjust the correction state as needed.

[0122] The variable control unit is designed with efficiency and durability in mind. The pump and battery modules are designed to minimize energy consumption and ensure a long operating time. Furthermore, each component is manufactured from materials resistant to external impacts or damage that may occur during use, thereby enhancing durability. These features enable the wearer to use the product stably for an extended period. By combining functionality and convenience, the variable control unit contributes to maximizing the body shape correction effect of the present invention.

[0123] Expansion section (122)

[0124] The expansion compartment (122) is an internal component of the variable pelvic pad (120) and serves to surround and protect the expansion member (121). This compartment maintains the stability of the expansion member, prevents damage from external impacts, and helps the expansion member operate consistently during the expansion and contraction process. The expansion compartment is a key structure that significantly improves the operational efficiency and durability of the expansion member.

[0125] The expansion compartment is constructed from a highly durable elastic material. This material is designed to withstand external forces while expanding as the expansion member inflates. The elastic material enables the expansion compartment to maintain its original state without deformation during repeated expansion and contraction, contributing to an extended product lifespan.

[0126] The internal space of the compartment provides sufficient clearance for the movement of the expansion member. The expansion member expands or contracts smoothly within this compartment, and the internal design of the compartment helps to precisely control changes in the expansion member's external shape. This allows for a more natural realization of the protruding shapes of the pelvis and buttocks.

[0127] The expansion compartment blocks direct contact between the expansion member and the external environment, protecting it from damage caused by dust, moisture, and other external factors. This maintains a constant internal pressure of the expansion member and minimizes air leakage, allowing the expanded state to be maintained for a long period.

[0128] Finally, the expansion section is designed with a structure containing a lubricating material (123). This lubricating material reduces friction of the expansion member and minimizes internal resistance that may occur during the expansion and contraction process, thereby helping the expansion member to operate efficiently. The combination of the expansion section and the lubricating material plays an important role in maximizing the performance of the variable pelvic pad.

[0129] lubricating material (123)

[0130] The lubricating material (123) is a material filled inside the expansion section (122) and is designed to support the smooth operation of the expansion member (121). This material reduces friction that may occur while the expansion member expands or contracts, and prevents wear that may occur due to friction between the expansion member and the expansion section.

[0131] The lubricating material consists of a high-viscosity fluid or gel type and uniformly fills the interior of the expansion compartment. This material is evenly distributed on the outer surface of the expansion member to smooth movement during the expansion and contraction processes. This reduces operating noise of the expansion member and provides the user with a quieter and smoother body shape correction experience.

[0132] Lubricants play a crucial role in enhancing the durability of the expansion member. By protecting the expansion member from the friction and pressure generated during repeated expansion and contraction, they prevent deformation or damage. This contributes to ensuring a long service life for the adjustable pelvic pad.

[0133] The lubricating material also serves to prevent air leakage by enhancing the sealing effect between the expansion member and the expansion compartment. This material adheres closely to the inside of the expansion compartment, blocking minute gaps that may occur during expansion and helping to maintain the expanded state for an extended period.

[0134] Finally, the lubricant is composed of biocompatible materials, ensuring safe use. Even without direct skin contact, the lubricant does not cause allergies and is made from eco-friendly materials, implementing a design that considers both user health and the environment.

[0135] friction layer (124)

[0136] The friction layer (124) is coated or laminated on the surface that contacts the inner side of the pelvic pad storage part (110), and helps the variable pelvic pad (120) to be stably fixed inside the lower body garment. This layer is designed so that the pelvic pad does not unintentionally move or fall off while being worn.

[0137] The friction layer is made of a high-friction material with a predetermined frictional force. This material provides sufficient friction at the contact surface between the hip pads and lower body clothing, allowing the pads to remain in place even while the wearer moves or is active. This ensures a comfortable fit for daily life.

[0138] The friction layer is designed with a thin and flexible structure so as not to affect the overall volume or weight of the pelvic pad. In addition, this layer is integrated with other components of the pelvic pad storage unit, enhancing stability while maintaining the product's ease of use.

[0139] The friction layer is highly durable and resistant to wear and damage even with repeated use. This ensures a long lifespan for the pelvic pads, allowing users to utilize the product for an extended period. Additionally, the friction layer is made of a material resistant to water and contaminants, maintaining its performance even after washing.

[0140] Finally, the friction layer helps the wearer precisely secure the hip pads at the desired position for body shaping. This layer is designed to absorb vibrations and shocks caused by the user's movements while ensuring the hip pads remain stably in their intended position. This feature minimizes discomfort that may occur when wearing the hip pads and maximizes the shaping effect.

[0141] As described above, the present invention provides functional hip padding bottoms designed to effectively solve the problems related to hip padding found in the prior art. The greatest advantage is the implementation of a function that allows the wearer to adjust the shape and size of the hip padding in real time without removing the lower body clothing. Unlike conventional fixed-form hip padding, this enables the user to immediately achieve the desired body shape correction by utilizing an inflatable member (121), thereby significantly improving the convenience of use and the versatility of body shape correction.

[0142] First, the present invention solves the problem of the pelvic pad unintentionally moving or separating while being worn in the prior art through the design of the pelvic pad storage part (110) and the friction layer (124). The front fixing part (111), the side storage part (112), and the rear storage part (113) are designed to be in close contact with the lower body clothing, and the friction layer provides frictional force between the pelvic pad and the lower body clothing, thereby stably fixing the pelvic pad during wear. This allows the pelvic pad to maintain its position even with the wearer's movement, thereby continuously providing a corrective effect.

[0143] Second, conventional pelvic pads had a fixed structure, which prevented users from selectively expanding or adjusting specific areas. The present invention provides a function that allows users to correct the upper, middle, and lower parts of the pelvis and buttocks to the desired position and proportion by subdividing them through the expansion member (121) and control module (132) of the variable pelvic pad (120). This enables customized correction that reflects the individual user's body shape and preferences, and overcomes the limitations of the existing simple structure.

[0144] Third, conventional hip pads had the inconvenience of requiring the complete removal of lower body clothing during the replacement process. The present invention designs the hip pad storage unit with a detachable structure, allowing the user to easily replace or remove the hip pads without having to completely undress their lower body clothing. This improves the user experience and provides an environment for managing the hip pads more easily.

[0145] Fourth, regarding the hygienic management of the pelvic pads, the present invention has overcome the limitations of existing technology. Conventional pelvic pads were often difficult to wash and could not be managed hygienically. The detachable pelvic pad storage unit (110) and the variable pelvic pad (120) of the present invention can be separated, making washing and disinfection easy and ensuring hygienic use. This plays an important role in protecting the wearer's skin health and maintaining the durability of the pelvic pads.

[0146] Fifth, conventional hip pads could not flexibly respond to the wearer's preferences or changes in body shape. The present invention enables the user to change the correction state in real time through a control module (132) linked with a smart device. This allows the wearer to easily achieve the desired body shape correction state and provides flexibility to adjust the correction state according to specific situations.

[0147] Sixth, conventional pelvic pads often cause discomfort when worn for a long time or result in an unnatural appearance. The present invention utilizes an expansion member (121), an expansion section (122), and a lubricating material (123) to ensure that the expansion and contraction of the pelvic pads occur naturally and uniformly, and is designed so that the wearer can use it comfortably for a long time. This is an important improvement that simultaneously enhances the usability of the product and the body shape correction effect.

[0148] Finally, the present invention maximizes the accuracy of the body shape correction effect by accurately calculating the air volume required for each inflation member based on the body shape correction setting value entered by the user and precisely controlling it through the pump module (131). This provides a technical advantage that differentiates it from conventional hip pads with a simple structure and creates an environment where the body shape correction desired by the user can be accurately implemented. This feature can be considered a major effect of the present invention that overcomes various limitations of conventional technology.
