1. Closure device for a container in which a flowable material is stored, comprising:
a base element, which can be fastened on a container opening of the container
a spout with a dispensing opening
whereby the spout is positioned inboard of the base element, and
a lid connected to the base element by a hinge,
whereby the lid can be moved back and forth between a closed position in which the lid closes the dispensing opening so that the spout is not accessible and an open position in which the spout is accessible,
tamper evidence indication means for visually indicating if the lid of the closure device has once been moved out of the closed position,
characterised in that
the tamper evidence indication means comprise a first indication ring and at least one second indication ring, whereby the first indication ring and the at least one second indication ring are connected by at least one frangible bridge which is configured to be disrupted when the lid is moved from the closed position, causing an axial movement of the first indication ring relative to the at least one second indication ring, whereby the first indication ring and the at least one second indication ring are coaxially positioned to each other and the first indication ring and the at least one second indication ring having an axially overlapping section before and after the lid of the closure device has once been moved out of the closed position.
