1. A retractable umbrella frame device, comprising:
a base body structure, said base body structure comprising a first end, a second end, and a length between said first end and said second end;
a central axis structure, said central axis structure at least partially surrounded by said base body structure and substantially spanning said length of said base body structure from said first end to said second end;
a plurality of secondary support structures connected to said base body structure between said first end and said second end, wherein at least one of said secondary support structures in said plurality of secondary support structures comprises one or more light emitters;
a skeletal frame structure, said skeletal frame structure comprising a plurality of arms, each arm in said plurality of arms comprising a connected end and a free end, said connected ends moveably connected to said central axis structure such that travel of said connected ends from said second end to said first end retracts said plurality of arms into said base body structure and travel of said connected ends from said first end to said second end extends said plurality of arms from said base body structure; and
one or more guide structures connected to at least one of said arms in said plurality of arms and at least one of said secondary support structures in said plurality of secondary support structures.
