We claim: 1. A power and data station rotatably mounted in an opening in a work surface comprising, a base having sloped power and data receptacle panels, a pair of torus hinges attached to said work surface and rotatably attached to said base, a lock bolt having a lock tooth fixedly attached to said base, a lock button slidably attached to said lock bolt, a first lock strike slot in one of said torus hinges, said lock tooth adapted to engage said lock strike slot to hold said station in said open position. 2. The power and data station of claim 1 further comprising a second lock strike slot in said same torus hinge, 180 degrees opposite to said first lock strike slot, adapted to engage said lock tooth when the station is rotated 180 degrees. 3. The power and data station of claim 2 in which the second lock strike slot is concave curved in shape. 4. The power and data station of claim 1 in which the opening in said work surface is obtained by cutting out a panel of said work surface, said station being fixedly attached to one side of said panel. 5. The power and data station of claim 1 in which the station is rotatable 180 degrees between an open position and a closed position. 6. The power and data station of claim 5 in which the panel of said work surface fits flush with said work surface when the station is in its closed position. 7. The power and data station of claim 1 further comprising a slot in said base through which said lock bolt passes. 8. The power and data station of claim 1 further comprising a slot in said base through which said lock bolt passes, a spring in said lock bolt which biases said lock bolt to an upper position, said lock bolt pushing said lock bolt tooth out of said lock strike slot when said lock bolt is pushed downward against said spring. 9. A power and data station rotatably mounted in an opening in a work surface comprising, a base having sloped power and data receptacle panels, a pair of torus hinges attached to said work surface and rotatably attached to said base, a lock bolt having a lock tooth fixedly attached to said base, a lock button slidably attached to said lock bolt, a first lock strike slot in one of said torus hinges, said lock tooth adapted to engage said lock strike slot to hold said station in an open position, wherein said station base is fixedly attached to one side of a panel which fits flush in said opening in said work surface and said station is rotatable on said torus hinges, 180 degrees between an open position and a closed position. 10. The power and data station of claim 9 further comprising a slot in said base through which said lock bolt passes a spring which biases said lock bolt to an upper position, said lock bolt pushing said lock bolt tooth out of said lock strike slot when said lock bolt is pushed downward against said spring. 11. The power and data station of claim 9 wherein said panel is cut out from the work surface or is cut to fit in said opening in said work surface. 12. The power and data station of claim 11 in which said panel matches said work surface in color and texture. 13. The power and data station of claim 10 further comprising a second lock strike slot in said same torus hinge, 180 degrees opposite to said first lock strike slot, adapted to engage said lock tooth when the station is rotated 180 degrees. 14. The power and data station of claim 2 in which the second lock strike slot is concave curved in shape. 15. A power and data station rotatably mounted in an opening in a work surface comprising, a base having sloped power and data receptacle panels, a pair of torus hinges attached to said work surface and rotatably attached to said base, a lock bolt having a lock tooth fixedly attached to said base, a lock button slidably attached to said lock bolt, a first lock strike slot in one of said torus hinges, said lock tooth adapted to engage said lock strike slot to hold said station in an open position, wherein said station base is fixedly attached to one side of a panel which fits flush in said opening in said work surface and said station is rotatable on said torus hinges, 180 degrees between an open position and a closed position, further comprising a second lock strike slot in said same torus hinge, 180 degrees opposite to said first lock strike slot, adapted to engage said lock tooth when the station is rotated to its closed position. 16. The power and data station of claim 15 further comprising a slot in said base through which said lock bolt passes, a spring which biases said lock bolt to an upper position, said lock bolt pushing said lock bolt tooth out of said lock strike slot when said lock bolt is pushed downward against said spring. 17. The power and data station of claim 15 wherein said panel is cut out from the work surface or is cut to fit in said opening in said work surface. 18. The power and data station of claim 15 in which the second lock strike slot is concave curved in shape. 19. The power and data station of claim 1, 9, or 15 further comprising a stop block attached to said torus hinges adapted to stop the rotation of said station in a horizontal position. 20. The power and data station of claim 1, 9, or 15 further comprising a center hole in said torus hinges, which allow for the passage of wires.
