Claims (10)

1. A fastener assembly comprising a rail and a fastener device that can be installed in a transport vehicle, wherein a rail head is coated with a layer of alumina with polytetrafluoroethylene seal and that at least a portion of the fastener device in contact with the rail head is made of metal coated with a layer of polymers.

2. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 1 , wherein the layer of alumina sealed with polytetrafluoroethylene has a thickness of 35 ±5 μm.

3. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 1 , wherein the layer of polymers is a layer of polyamide 11 .

4. The fastener assembly pursuant claim 1 , wherein at least the portion of the fastener device in contact with the rail head is made of steel.

5. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 1 , wherein the layer of polymers has a thickness of 200±20 μm.

6. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 1 , wherein the layer of polymers covers an anticorrosion precoat.

7. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 6 , wherein the precoat contains electrolytic zinc.

8. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 6 , wherein the precoat has a thickness of less than 20 μm and preferably is between 3 and 4 μm.

9. The fastener assembly pursuant to claim 1 , wherein the rail is designed to be fastened to a seat, with the fastener device being integral with a lower face of a seat.
