Abstract
A tool for applying a corrosion-protection substance to a rail for securing seats in an aircraft. The tool includes a component of elongate overall shape, with a base configured to slide along the rail, and a rollers support connected to the base. The tool also has an axle incorporated in the rollers support, which extends transversally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the component on each side of the rollers support, and rollers for applying the substance mounted on the transverse axle, one on each side of the component. The tool allows the substance to be applied effectively to the flange parts of the rail that is to be protected.
